Album Description
BUY OUR INTENTION; WE’LL BUY YOU A UNICORN is the heavily anticipated follow-up to the 2003 independent release of Did You Know People Can Fly? and marks the auspicious debut of KADDISFLY on Hopeless Records. The album is a distinct evolution of the band’s art: intelligent, passionate and engaging. "Once you listen to KADDISFLY, experience their live show, and see their artwork, it is clear that the band has their own vision rooted in authentic creativity and experience," says Louis Posen, Founder and President of Hopeless Records. "We feel you will be challenged, inspired and moved by their genuine unique view of music and art. Don't let this scare you...if you like punk, indie rock, metal, jam bands, jazz and more...you will love them." The band also just finished filming the video for "New Moon Over Swift Water" which is scheduled for release in this spring. The band-directed clip features high concept haunting imagery, a vivid performance and sub-titles.

About the Artist
Portland, Oregon's Kaddisfly has set out to defy the boundaries. Formed in 2000, the band consciously put it's faith in one principal: Intelligent and passionate art will forever remain an unwavering constant. Throughout their career and culminating in this release, they put art,integrity and diversity into a sleek tapestry that blends progressive, aural collages into a rock based concept. Never content with the status quo, the quintet strives to bring meaning from metaphor, and create music unique to themselves. Each song it's own story, they've drawn comparison to everyone from Coheed, Incubus, Quicksand, and Sparta, while remaining uniquely Kaddisfly. For them, the journey is more important than the destination.

Customer Reviews

once in a while a band comes around like these guys...
In this age of popular "screamo" music influenced by MTV 2 and ignorant music listeners, it is hard to find a band that is so outlandishly unique that there album is better on pure differnece alone. Kaddisfly's "buy our intention and we'll buy you a unicorn" is that unique album. Trying to classify them in one genre alone is naive. The styles range from progressive to experimental to indie to smooth jazz to "weather channel esque" melodies...etc. I would highlight each track's beauty but there is so much depth to each song that is unmeasurable. Kudos to these guys and their producer for making one of the most incredible albums that has reached my ears in a while

Five Stars means a lot...
I regard Five Stars as the biggest compliment you can give to an album. An album that encapcuates what music is all about...One that is always at the back of your mind. It reminds you how powerful music can be. This is exactly what this album does for me, but more. I preordered it, not expected anything at all. I even listened to it a few times and only liked a few tracks, dismissing it as some mediocere release by another indie band. But then you start to get it. Song by song, instrument by vocal, you start to realize, this is it! The lyrics, the art, the emotions, the songwriting, they all connect, and you have a piece of art nothing short of incredible. A review won't do this justice, but if you are willing to be patient and just listen, you'll get an album that gives you chills everytime you hear it. Each song is incredible. Heck, even a year from first listening to it, I'm finding new things I love about with each listen. I won't go into details about the actual style, and compare Kaddisfly to other bands, because they are just Kaddisfly. Anyone who doesn't like this cd just doesn't get it, or hasn't listened to it enough. And for this band, this release is just the beggining. Game Over music: Buy Our Intention, We'll Buy You A Unicorn is here!

Great Album, best in my collection!
Wow, I'm very impressed with this effort. I'd heard of Kaddisfly a couple of years ago with their singles Midnight in Shanghai, Manhattan Loves You, and Vacation on an Invisible Plane. When the new album dropped I rushed to pick it up hoping it would live up to those singles. I found out their new material was much better than before and now this CD is the most favored in my collection. Tracks like "For the Ejection of Rest, They'll Dance", and "Five Years from a Carpenter's Eye" show great songwriting skills and production. The album's two most "mainstream" singles, "New Moon Over Swift Water" and "La Primera Natural Disaster" are catchy, well-written, well-produced tracks that I listen to over and over again. "Set Sail the Prairie" and "Eres Tremulent" are also great tracks. Go ahead and pick this album up, it's great. If you like Incubus sounds, they're close, with better lyrics and production.
