The Modern Tribe

The second record by this Baltimore-based three-piece is an album of sublime colors, rich textures, and glorious, ascending melody. Guest appearances by TV On The Radio, Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), and members of Antibalas. "Nothing sounds like The Birthday Party. Sadly, not even Nick Cave. Yet Celebration has just enough holy chaos and free-flung tribal drumming to warrant the much-hyped comparison...nothing short of brilliant" - Magnet.
