Album Description Before deciding to take an indefinite break, the group recorded three new songs they played live but never recorded and added those to nine songs taped at their farewell shows to create "I Before E". The studio recordings sound different than previous efforts, reflecting the band's increased confidence and maturity. Vocals are placed front and center in the mix of lovely orchestral pop. The live tracks are delicate, beautiful, and haunting. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsGreat compilation, but originals are a must scorpiolicious | 11/20/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "I am afraid of the Carissa's Wierd 'empire' beginning to resemble the whole Jeff Buckley situation. Keep sprewing out as much unreleased/live stuff as possible, no matter how bad or how poorly recorded (see Jeff Buckley - "Mystery White Boy"). Keep giving the fans more, as much as possible, to keep the memory of this amazing band alive. I really hope this does not happen with Carissa's.
Needless to say, this is a wonderful collection of live stuff (namely "Brooke Daniels' Tiny Broken Fingers" and "September"). They portray the band as is, and perfectly depict the amateur perfection that makes Carissa's Wierd the best indie band to exist today. The new tracks are wonderful - "Die" is a total gem, and perhaps the most rewarding track on the album. This recording is essential for existing fans, but newcomers should move to other releases, with "Songs about Leaving" being the most accessible. Although Sad Robot plans to reissue "Ugly but Honest" and "You should be at home here", who knows when this will happen. Random original copies pop up on EBay once in a while but go for about $80US. Carissa's Wierd is a band that should NEVER be overlooked by anyone who's tastes are based in the ever-growing category that is indie rock. They are the best band you have not heard." |
