Review

Magnet (3-4/98, p.60) - "...There's a high degree of attention paid to detail, and the songs sound like cultivated jewels. Running throughout TRANSACTION DE NOVO is a very distinct sense of melody that's seldom heard..."
NME (Magazine) (3/28/98, p.42) - 6 (out of 10) - "...For a band who have made understatement an art over the course of two distinguished albums, there are a disconcerting number of rock-outs lurking in the late-night calm of Bedhead's third long-player..."

Title Note

Bedhead includes: M. Kadane (vocals, guitar); T. Coxe (guitar).

Recorded in Chicago, Illinois in 1997.

Following the quiet gentility of the first lo-fi FOUR SONG EP and the layered experimentation of WHAT FUN LIFE WAS and BEHEADED, TRANSACTION DE NOVO is a mellower Bedhead record. Indie rock producer Steve Albini gives the band space to create its own sound; it combines percussion and odd time signatures with its well-known tiered guitar compositions. The vocals, stronger than ever, are no longer buried amidst the whirlwind of three guitars, but reside in spacious moments. Melody reigns, allowing multi-layered guitar intricacies to shine through.

"Extramundane," is anything but, a surprisingly uptempo number that gives a nod to pop and jolts the listener into an Unrest-type track sung by an uncharacteristically tuneful Matt Kadane. Bedhead hasn't forgotten, in its maturity, how to stay unpredictable. The remainder of the recording, however, hews to its country-like beginnings, with songs such as "Forgetting," complete with guitar twang and muttered vocals. With the laboring bass and minimal drums of the final track, "The Present," the band harks back to its beginnings. The last and final album from these kings of shoegazing rock comes full circle.
