Celebrants

"Mostly (...), 'Celebrants' comes across as a bold new venture, one that's unrestrained in terms of melody, motif, and obvious enthusiasm. Classifying it as a bluegrass revival is simply inaccurate. Rather, it represents the second phase of an initiative established early on, one that speaks as much to the future as it does to the past. Which is ample reason for celebration indeed".

"A rangy and satisfying return to form that is as inventive as anything in their catalog. Joined by bassist and producer Mike Elizondo, the band is at turns dramatic, playful, introspective, and above all ambitious ... Where their previous record resembled the cozy reunion that it was, Celebrants is a more defining statement from veteran players whose chemistry remains undeniable".

"'Celebrants' is (...) bursting with ideas and is, unsurprisingly, a bit of sprawl. It's fun to hear the group exploring new musical territory, stretching their sound in ways they haven't before. The long break between records has made for an exciting set of songs".
