Through the band's first two albums, Thirdimension's epic pop and bombastic garage rock were certainly electrified if not at times electronic. With their new album, Before The End Begins, Thirdimension unplugs (for the most part) and offers enthralling acoustic versions of songs from their 2 previous albums, a couple previously unreleased new songs, plus some interesting covers. Before The End Begins was recorded in a spectacular old church in Malmo, Sweden, in early 2006, thereby blessed with natural cathedral reverb. This album finds Thirdimension eschewing volume for simple but effective orchestration that truly highlight the songcraft behind their music, and in a candlelit setting built for heavenly harmonies and hushed hymns.
