I gag over the Howling Bells
self-titled one. They sound good and look impressive to boot.
yes
the MSTU album is lovely. Great album.
are they supporting
das wanderlust on tuesday?
or have i just made that up?
yes yes they are
well, nat and kev are (original lineup before the rest of the band were added to develop the sound) playing anyway. it should be good, are you coming??
i think so
three pounds should be well worth it. hopefully i might be able to talk one of my housemates along.
if not i'll risk this one on my own.
maybe
band of horses. but overall not a strong year for debuts as far as i've heard, and especially compared to the few years previous
hmmm
tokyo police club e.p. was just stunning, victoria english gentlemens club ditto, sailplanes e.p. was a vey different listen in a good way, erm, does silversun pickups carnavas count?
oh and the cutting pink album, technically not their first but their debut did sound like someone falling down the stairs, swearing a lot, climbing back up, tripping over their dog AGAIN, falling down stairs, etc. in other words, it wasn't a proper album reeeaaallyyy...
Islands
although I find it difficult to actually consider it to be a debut. Same with Sunset Rubdown, until I realised it wasn't one at all. Other than that, probably Band of Horses, but it hardly blew me away; I just thought it was a good, solid album.
guillemots
for the first time in ages nearly every new release i've bought this year has been by someone who already had albums out.
nearly everyone new i'm recommended seems to be either same-old screamy/spazzy post-hardcore/whatever shallow pish, libertines aping talentless tuneless cack or endless unoriginal identikit post-rock tedium
maybe i need some new friends
The Beach House record is lovely.
Yeah, it's definitely one of my favourites.
I love her voice so much.
the
zidane soundtrack by mogwai. they're this hot scottish band. they don't even use vocals or anything yeah?
NO
WAI
The boy lacks patience- ill advised
Great debut as was the first pure reason revolution album- The Dark Third
My Fave Debuts 2006
Tokyo Police Club EP
The Long Blondes
Larrikin Love
add the Mystery Jets one to my list
I got it the other day, and it's really impressed me.
yeah I'm adding it to mine too.
