#07074 Interpol

Interpol – Our Love To Admire

US: 10th Jul – Capitol

UK: 9th Jul – Parlophone

 

First major debut for Interpol doesn’t means their music can be major, but it gets darker. The NYC post punkers had two albums for Matador, now they move to Capitol (accordingly Parlophone in UK) to get their third. Daker than Joy Division.

Dogs – Tall Stories From Under The Table

UK: 18th Jun – Weekender

 

Beware all bands named after a certain animal, these Dogs are from London, Tall Stories are telling in their second album. After being dropped from major Island, Dogs sign to newly formed indie Weekender. Still proves that they are just a angry punk band.

#07072 The Thrills

The Thrills – Teenager

UK: 23rd Jul – Virgin

 

Dublin’s The Thrills should have been a Californian band, with their sunshine and beach, sweet harmony and piano, all reminds of the 70s. Teenager is the third album from this Irish five piece, not bad but not good enough.

 

Outstanding track: ‘Nothing Changes Round Here’.
