(2018) CEREMONY east coast - East Coast
Review:
Among the best heirs and interpreters of the My Bloody Valentine and Jesus & Mary Chain signature sound were, between 1995 and 2003, Northern Virginia‘s Skywave, a noisy power three-piece made up of Oliver Ackermann, Paul Baker and John Fedowitz from the college town of Fredericksburg, that released a couple of, at the time, underestimated but essential albums as “Echodrone” (1999) and “Synthstatic” (2004).
After the demise of Skywave, Oliver Ackermann relocated to New York and founded A Place To Bury Strangers, while Paul Baker and John Fedowitz started the Ceremony adventure with another couple of excellent albums like “Disappear”(2007) and “Rocket Fire” (2010), several singles and a sound initially more electronic with some new wave influences, but still noisy and pretty exciting. Since the last album “Distance”, at the end of 2013, Ceremony is mainly the solo moniker of John Fedowitz, he has recently shifted his name to CEREMONY east coast and release 5th album titled “East Coast”. Darker, louder but still 100% John Fedowitz style. While the last album distance had the vibe of songs written with acoustic guitar and then transformed into Rock’n’Roll, East Coast is an album made for stage. Drone bass lines, ear piercing guitars, real drums and intense vocals. Nothing polished, highs and lows. Love songs. This album sends a message out to the music world: It’s raw, real and your new summer sound track.
