Celebration Builds A Crystal Castle


Celebration's whirling "Evergreen"—the first single from the Baltimore trio's out-soon The Modern Tribe—has been given the video treatment, and because I am a total fangirl for this band, it's embedded above. While this video captures a slightly more subdued side of the band—lead singer Katrina Ford isn't jumping into any crowds here—it's still pretty visually stunning, bringing to mind a dream landscape influenced by "Kiss Them For Me", those crystal-vending pushcarts that stud your lower-tier shopping malls, and a very laid-back game of Jenga.

Second Spin: Why You Need To Celebrate "Celebration"

Celebration's self-titled debut album came out on 4AD last year, but it's still in heavy rotation around the Idolator flophouse; we love the Baltimore-based trio's hypnotic, organ-driven songs, and the tension added to them by David Bergander's razor-wire drumming.

Latest by brasstax: When I heard this last year about the time it came out, I didn't even realize the singer was a woman until I saw a picture. Now I hear it plain as day, but it's certainly an unusual voice more »
