Guillemots
release date 2006-07-24 publisher: Universal Import
Mesmerizing debut album from London based Avant-Popsters led by Fyfe Dangerfield, one of the most original and exciting singer/songwriters to emerge from the UK in years. Imagine a mixture of Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, R.E.M., Jeff Buckley and Brian Wilson's stranger moments, then turn it upside down and add some of the most haunting melodies this side of Bjork! 12 songs including the singles 'Made Up Love Song #43' and 'Trains To Brazil'. Universal. 2006.

UK enhanced pressing of the 2008 sophomore album from this eclectic British outfit featuring the enhanced video for the album's first single 'Get Over It'. A masterclass in dynamic, exhilarating Pop music, the eleven-song Red adds a distinct edge to their Mercury-nominated sound. Harder, fatter and more disciplined than their critically acclaimed debut LP but equally ambitious, Red sounds like nothing else. It’s darker and angrier, but also more beautiful, and the band's knack for melody is matched this time round by an endless cavalcade of inspired beats, bass and loops. From the jagged string stabs that unleash mutant disco-glam opener ‘Kriss Kross’, to the desolate late-night pulse of final track 'Take Me Home', it’s a tour-de-force that marries Guillemots’ natural melodic flair with a sense of dancefloor abandonment, not heard since Prince’s ‘80s wild pop adventures. Polydor.
