MAGNET - The Old Ceremony, Durham NC

"Certain cities give off an energy that lets you know that exciting things are happening there. It is just in the air. Detroit in the Big Three/Motown 1960s probably had this. Maybe Seattle in the 1990s. Or Chicago in the 1890s. Well, the air of the formerly sleepy town of Durham has it, too. Unused warehouses turn into art spaces or rock clubs or artisanal bakeries as if by time-lapse photography. New bands form and old bands reinvent. If I could live anywhere right now, this is where I would live. Lucky for me, I already do."

“'It does seem kind of like a downer as a title,' the Old Ceremony vocalist-guitarist Django Haskins says of naming the rock group’s new album Fairytales and Other Forms of Suicide. 'The overall upshot, lyrically, though, is a positive one.' The record, he explains, shares many themes with the song of the same name. Specifically, the track is meant to encourage listeners to let go of not only the childhood fairytales they grew up with but 'fairytales about love, life, death and everything else,' according to the singer...As heady as all of this is, it makes for an ornate song, built from expertly textured baritone guitars, violin and percussion, teetering between tension and release."
