^who cares!!!

 

 

I've only heard "Made Up Love Song no.43"....which I love. Anyone suggest any key tracks I can download next? :)

 

Trains to Brazil

We're Here

Annie, let's not wait

Sao Paolo

I've Got a Problem (And the Problem is You) / Turn The Candles On

Yeah, Trains to Brazil and Annie, Let's Not Wait are the other big two you should definitely check out.

 

If The World Ends and Through the Windowpane are my two favorites besides that.

 

Sao Paolo is very long but awesome. Not such a big fan of We're Here myself, but that's probably just me. Really the whole album is worth a listen- it's fantastic and has a ton of variety to it.

 

There's a couple of songs on the ep that I really like too, but I can't remember which ones they are. I'm not as big a fan of it as the album, though I own and like both. You would probably be best off getting started with the album.

I love Guillemots, both of their albums are great :D

Fyfe went to the school Im at now which is kinda cool... he was there at the same time as my sister! I think he (and obviously the rest of the band!) should come back to the school and play a gig! :)

And their live show is something to witness.

Especially when they play random music to go with short films, in an audio-visual presention like they are having as a support act on their tour.

 

Fyfe is a god-like genius, yesterday he ended up introducing the entire back-stage team

Red is so an underrated album

 

This ^^

 

People just didn't like their change of sound, silly people

"Guillemots are set to release their eagerly awaited third album, ‘Walk the River’ on April 18th on the Geffen label.

 

The four-piece of Fyfe Dangerfield, Magrão, Aristazabal Hawkes and Greig Stewart have delivered an album that’s as innovative as it is classic - an astral triumph.

 

Following the Mercury Music Prize nominated ‘Through the Windowpane’ (2006) the top ten ‘Red’ (2008) and Fyfe Dangerfield’s acclaimed gold selling debut solo album, ‘Fly Yellow Moon’ (2010), Guillemots recorded ‘Walk the River’ with producer David Kosten (Bat for Lashes, Everything Everything) at Bryn Derwen Studios, a converted country manor in the mountains of North Wales.

 

The sessions gave birth to a startling marriage of melody and atmosphere where layers of harmony and other-worldly instrumentation give way to fragile songs of hope and loss. Fyfe’s lyrical visions of a lost, stranded soul in search of a home lead a passionate and soulful band sounding at times stripped to the bone, and at others wildly ambitious and uninhibited.

 

‘Walk The River’ is filled with drama and contrasts - creating its own universe which seems both familiar and unexpected. Echoes of Roy Orbison in a multitracked choir (‘Tigers’) and psychedelic hints of the Righteous Brothers (‘Sometimes I Remember Wrong’), line up alongside the spiky energised pop of ‘Ice Room’ and the freewheeling chaos of ‘The Basket’, the first single to be taken from the album (available to download from iTunes on 13th March, with impact date of 11th April).

 

The subsonic pulse and energy of ‘I Must Be A Lover’ joins ‘Dancing in the Devil’s Shoes’, which builds from an aching, fragile lullaby into a majestic anthem.

 

Standout track ‘Vermillion’ opens with lo-fi home-recorded acoustic strumming, but soon morphs into a throbbing, interstellar slice of Fleetwood Mac-inspired genius, laying the groundwork for the uplifting but heartbreaking ‘I Don’t Feel Amazing Now’.

 

All the twists and turns of distortion, leaps of imagination and boundless rhythms are shepherded by Fyfe’s intense and intimate vocals, and the sheer quality of the melodies and performances.

 

"The songs had to sound as if they were being heard through the night sky", explains Dangerfield, "sleepwalking their way onto tape. But they also needed to survive on a piano or acoustic guitar, and still grip you, still have a rawness and directness that would move you without relying on the arrangements. So it was all about trying to attain this wonky balance of sharpness and blurriness. We wanted to make a record that would completely surround you as you listened to it, fill you with warmth."

 

'Walk The River' is magical record, both beautiful and bold - a troubled but determined journey. Here is an album to hold close."

 

The 'Walk the River' tracklisting is

 

1. Walk The River

2. Vermillion

3. I Don't Feel Amazing Now

4. Ice Room

5. Tigers

6. Inside

7. I Must Be A Lover

8. Slow Train

9. Sometimes I Remember Wrong

10. The Basket

11. Dancing In The Devil's Shoes

12. Yesterday Is Dead

 

Yippee!

So their 4th album (Hello Land) was suprised released today with the promise of 3 more albums to come this year. Cool

 

I hope it won't be a case of the quality suffering from the quantity of songs.
