I love this album, and I can't believe how hard it is to find and how few people have heard it. These guys have an indy-pop-Austin-rock sound. They have a similar "feel" as Spoon. I don't do record reviews (until this one) but I couldn't believe there weren't any kudos much less reviews for this album so I thought I would remedy that. There are some fun songs, catchy riffs and just good music. Sample a few songs and see if you don't agree. It's perfect music for tooling around Texas.

Austin Music Magazine is by no means the definitive source on music but they summed it up quite nicely with: "The Black And White Years deserve comparison to the Talking Heads..."

If that by itself doesn't intrigue you, I will add that this album has so many layers and complexities while retaining a pop/dance element that makes for an entertaining listen and a very fun live show. Buy this Album, thank me later.

This album is conscience expression of dance, joy, life, happiness and hardships. It is just so damn good. This Album speaks to the quality of music and performance that B&W Years brings to ATX. The sound and feel of every song is always at least somewhat different but overall the music works well together.


The balance of old and new are realized with utmost quality and leaves the listener with a feeling of satisfaction. 5/5

This is a very entertaining band. Its become one of my favorites on my iphone. Alternative and fun

Quite simply, The Black & White Years is the best new band I've heard in years. When I first heard them, I described them as a combination of Luna and the Talking Heads. It came as no surprise that an alum of the Heads produced this CD. The songwriting is stellar. The music is filled with great hooks. The singing is quirky and engaging. Buy this album! You will not be disappointed.
