I'm hooked

Storm is particularly amazing but the album is superb all the way through. I don't think many recent debuts have bettered it. Is anyone going to the show at Rough Trade tomorrow?

Can't wait to get this.

Been longer than I can remember since I last anticipated a release so eagerly.

  - Listened to some of this last night...
    
    ... and frankly the vocals seemed a bit drab. Am I missing something?

    - I like the Beta Band
      
      and this album seems quite not bad.
      
      If you don't like the Beta Band though maybe it's not for you

  - Id say more Canned Heat, Jefferson Airplane with samplers and drum machines.
    
    Can see what you mean about Beta Band though.

  how is this not on your Recommended Records then?
  
  Und_Gorgeous_Cars @sean | 1 Feb '12, 11:42 | X | ^ This | Reply
  - I know I mentioned it below...
    
    but I am aware that recommended records are often consensus among writers...I suspect that, at the time of the Django Django review, few staff had heard it, meaning it couldn't be recommended by all. I think the best thing to do would be to review what gets recommended, though as I understand the new DiS site (which seems to be much like the sophomore Avalanches' effort when it comes to delays) will improve on this greatly.

*needs to get this*

It's looking to be quite a good year for mainstream-ish indie, what with this and the Islet album and Given To The Wild. Also - there does not appear to be a Vaccines or Brother this year, thankfully.

Oissin_ | 31 Jan '12, 17:54 | X | ^ This | Reply
Such a clever album

Didn't get onto the recommended albums list though? Daft.

There's a track by track guide from the band on Spotify

is the free single of the week on iTunes, for anyone that needs to hear how this sounds...

Best thing I've heard this year so far.

Which is perhaps not saying much, but a great debut LP all the same.

Mentioned this on the 2012 recommended album thread

But it got kind of lost on there. This album really reminds me of Clinic, almost more so than the Beta Band.

I love it.

I'm often stupidly suspicious when an album sounds this good on the first couple of listens

But I know this will be a classic album.

shimmetry | 1 Feb '12, 19:48 | X | ^ This | Reply
- I remain suspicious
  
  but benefit of the doubt from me for now

Got a ticket for their Manchester show, suprised it wasn't sold out.

Very, very, very good.

oxo_foxo | 2 Feb '12, 16:25 | X | ^ This | Reply
...it's a fantastic album.....and

is likely to make you smile contently, go see them live, you'll be purring....and um, yes, elements of Beta Band, Clinic etc but definitively Djangoesque.

VCLee | 2 Feb '12, 20:09 | X | ^ This | Reply
Erm.

This is like an album of Of Montreal b-sides. Which is fine but...it's nowhere near as astonishing as this thread had me believe.

cocodaLOL | 2 Feb '12, 20:26 | X | ^ This | Reply
- It sounds nothing like Of Montreal

    not like the icelandic twins bonus album in particular.

    - it kind of feels royksopp remixing OM in fact.

Some of it soundalike The Bees

Earworm two mornings running; Storm.

shimmetry | 3 Feb '12, 09:36 | X | ^ This | Reply
Got this as a result of the DiS review, even though it wouldn't usually be my sort of thing.

I like it a lot. I get a bit of a Merriweather Post Pavilion vibe from it as well.

boydungud | 3 Feb '12, 10:16 | X | ^ This | Reply
Given this quite a few listens

it's okay

It's really really great.

Been listening to it a lot over the past month.

Saw them live last week

They were so great, and really different to what I expected. The dustbowl guitars on the album were replaced with very Hot Chippy synths, it was a big ole dance party.

thephotobooth | 29 Oct '12, 18:08 | X | ^ This | Reply
Its one of those albums

that you feel really familiar with after only two or three listens, the songs have such overt quality. I love it

beautiful_balloon | 29 Oct '12, 18:13 | X | ^ This | Reply
I bought this around the time I joined here

I still listen to it more than once a month, it's genuinely proven to be a great wee album.
