Debut album from the Florida group that Rolling Stone named "Artists to Watch" in 2008. Their first single. ‘I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You’ entered the UK Charts at #11. ‘Partie Traumatic’ was produced by former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler and is choc-full of equally effervescent pop songs just waiting to be heard. Judging by their live shows the song is an indie disco anthem in the making. A dash of disco, a dash or two of heartbreak and a rousing chorus, what else do you need? Mercury. 2008.

Angles is the fourth studio album by American rock band The Strokes. It was released on March 18, 2011, through RCA Records. It was the group's first album in over five years, following First Impressions of Earth (2005).

Nick McCarthy, Bavarian brains of Franz, last dipped into side-project Box Codax five years ago, and in that time, the contents have got a whole lot more exciting. Less rigid and robotic, much cleaner than ‘Only An Orchard Away’, ‘Hellabuster’ moves on from post-punk weirdo pop to a glammier, proggier form of ELO-ish studio oddness.
It’s part-produced by Joe Mount of Metronomy, whose sonic fingerprints are audible on the brilliantly freaky disco of ‘Seven Silvers’ and the likes of ‘My Room’. If ‘Choco Pudding’ dips its spoon too far into the bowl marked ‘wacky’, the whole is an eccentric gem that pulls you back again and again.
NME Review

Written by The Kooks, produced by Tony Hoffer (Beck, Air, Belle & Sebastian), and recorded in The Sound Factory (Los Angeles) and Sarm Studios (London), the band's third album sees them consolidating their position as a bona fide album band with trademark breeziness and catchy hooks. Kicking off with a dramatic breakbeat, the opening track builds across acoustic guitar and warm washes of synth before collapsing into a chorus you'll be singing for days. It shows, that despite the change in their influences, the band still have a firm grasp on how to write killer hooks and pop songs without compare. "It's upbeat; an album to play in the sun" explains frontman Luke Pritchard of the forthcoming 12 song collection, "What we really wanted to do was build a proper, full album. Something you can listen to from front to back. We're an album band and this is a journey you come on with us."

Built on the powerful songwriting of Christopher Owens and the ethereal production of Chet "JR" White, Girls recorded Album in a variety of bedrooms and rehearsal studios in their adopted hometown, San Francisco. The resulting 12 tracks are the perfect San Fran summer record, evoking a narcotic, sunny afternoon in Dolores Park, yet promising the eventual hangover of summer's departure. Album is self-described as "honest, loose, ethereal, obnoxious and perfect," it is a sincere tribute to the majesty of great pop music and the healing power of rock and roll.
