'Bathroom Gurgle' and 'The Bears Are Coming'.


Customer Reviews

A lack of new material doesn't make this bad5
Now, like many bands (i'm thinking Hadouken! here), their debut album isn't exactly all-new material, these younguns from Castle Donnington set together to release their first album, with an all-too familar track listing, I mean, nothing you haven't yet heard isn't here, including popular singles amongst early fans such as "Space And The Woods", "The Bears Are Coming", "Bathroom Gurgle". This album is most definately one of the high points of newer and british music, basically grabbing the finer points of Gary Numan, Justice and The Klaxons, this is a record that will not be forgotten any time soon.

As of yet, i'm yet to think of an album that can better this one. Exceptionally good work. Very recommended.

Melting Pot4
OK, this is gonna sound a bit like something David Brent would say, but imagine you were baking a musical cake. Your ingredients are: a bit of Sparks, a tad of Bowie, a pinch of Devo, a helping of Gary Numan, some Queen, a taster of Justice, a hint of Japan, mix up with a dose of Nik Kershaw flavoured with Gary Glitter and bake for 40 minutes. The result is a sweet sounding mixture of aural satisfaction that you will devour until the last crumb. Fantastic!

I'm with that guy!5
This is OUR generations band. Music is taking a welcome turn to into the right direction. Any music fan will love this album. This album is the sign of things to come from British music, and I cannot wait!
