$14.98 (list price), Rock/Punk/Pop, Rough Trade Basic Story: The Scottish three-piece finally makes their U.S. debut with an album recorded by ex-Suede main man Bernard Butler.
Sample: Hey!/ it’s gonna snow tonight/ I know I will be liking it/ so let’s go!/ stare out of the house/ stare into the white/ put on that dress tonight/ the one your mom don’t like.
Verdict: Covering three different genres of music can be a difficult task, but the 1990s make it sound easy. Their grasp on pop music may stem from the fact that two of their members used to be in a band with members of Franz Ferdinand. While their sound isn’t exactly original, the album does have some really catchy songs, making it highly worth a listen. The first single, “See You at the Lights,” might be one of the summer’s best hits.
