- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -

  "Graveyard is a band best heard in passing. Imagine youÆre downtown at night,
  strolling past some dive bar that would be unappealing if not for the sounds
  coming from inside: bluesy and urgent, with a certain understanding of a time
  you never knew. Your curiosity is piqued. You walk in, buy a drink, and find a
  place to stand to enjoy the show. Four guys are up on stage with what first
  seems like the intention to play fast, get paid, and get out, but as their set
  goes on, their pace slows, and they begin to bare their souls and their love
  for the music. At points, it all may seem played out and just a little bit too
  familiar, but there are overlapping moments on Innocence & Decadence, the
  Swedish bandÆs fourth album, when the music not only draws your attention, but
  provokes your thoughts as to why it all works the way it does.

  At first listen, Graveyard is a band steeped in late Æ60s nostalgia. On
  pop-leaning tracks like ôThe Apple & the Treeö, you might mistake them for
  Cream. On the heavier and more brooding tracks, like ôCanÆt Walk Outö, theyÆre
  The Doors. Jonatan RammÆs riffs sound like theyÆve never seen the light of the
  21st century, and Joakim NilssonÆs voice drips with whiskey.

  Where you might feel like youÆve gotten a pretty good grasp of their sound
  after ôThe Apple & the Treeö, the albumÆs second song, you might be tempted to
  leave, especially because the next one sounds like all the energy in the room
  has been extinguished. Stick around, though, because the sleeper ballad ôExit
  97ö is the best track Innocence & Decadence has to offer. NilssonÆs mournful
  vocals sulk through a damp and steady rainfall of snares and hi-hats before
  organ greets his misery and gets him swinging from lampposts like some
  nihilistic Gene Kelly. ItÆs a soulful act that can reach the lonesome blues in
  anyoneÆs heart. ItÆs comforting, itÆs familiar ù itÆs comforting because itÆs
  familiar. And when you take a look at GraveyardÆs discography, youÆll find
  that any sort of enjoyment of their music derives from that very nostalgia.

  That can be problematic. Music like GraveyardÆs, so heavily nostalgic for a
  time nearly half a century gone, can only be enjoyed for what it is. Quality
  can only get you so far when you forgo innovation in favor of remembering the
  good olÆ days. Of course, itÆs any artistÆs prerogative to be inspired by
  whatever they like, so itÆs no serious detriment to GraveyardÆs satisfactory
  body of work. The fast-paced, nearly headbang-worthy energy in tracks like
  ôNever Theirs to Sellö, ôFrom a Hole in the Wallö, and ôHard Headedö is
  undeniable, while the slow-rolling drawl of tracks like ôToo Much Is Not
  Enoughö and ôFar Too Closeö keeps the heart and passion of Innocence &
  Decadence burning. It still remains, though, that active fans may be left
  underwhelmed and wanting more. So, while youÆll likely be tapping your foot
  and nodding your head, you might also be wrestling with the fact that none of
  this is new.

  Graveyard has the allure of an artifact from some bygone era, and theyÆre all
  the better in the sense that the artifact is very much living and breathing.
  The band is good at doing what theyÆve set out to do, and when it comes down
  to what matters, all parties involved ù musicians and listeners alike ù will
  surely enjoy themselves. When the band is done playing, though, with the stage
  struck and crowd dispersed, youÆll find yourself outside the bar greeting the
  cool night air, and in those first few breaths, youÆll catch yourself
  wondering about all the possibilities yet to be explored."
