Celebration’s Tarot Themed Releases

Celebration released their last album in 2005 to mixed reviews. Afterward they began writing more tracks for a follow up album and ended up with 22 tracks that they were happy with. And in a recent blog post said this.

When we finally poked our head out into the light of the living, we had brought 22 songs in tow. On just a chance, when noting the oddity and seeming significance of the number 22, we remembered that the tarot had 22 major archana cards. So, when playing with the idea, listening to the songs and the lyrics, we noticed striking parallels. So much so, we feel it fated. Once this perspective hit us our next path on our journey became illuminated. We had already long decided that we wanted to embrace a new way of sharing our music. So we are weaving a web portal to share this idea as an unfolding experiment. Every month on our web site, http://celebrationelectrictarot.com, we will post new songs for free download.

We have made video’s for the first two songs/cards. “I Will Not Fall” is The Fool card and ‘What’s this magical” is The Shaman Magician card.

And that’s what they’ve done. So far we have three tracks that are all worthy of taking up space on your mp3 player of choice. They’re psychedelic and at times sound like a female fronted Mars Volta. The videos are all pretty trippy and get a little mundane about halfway through but are still worth watching at least once.
