Brakes Give Blood [import]

Debut album from British-Indie supergroup made up of members from British Sea Power, the Electric Soft Parade and the Tenderfoot. They're the Indie version of Velvet Revolver and, judging by the sound of 'Pick Up the Phone', on just as many drugs. with an opening track that lasts 25 seconds and a closing track that lasts eight, the whole art-rock affair sounds like the combined panic attacks of a generation who've spent the summer munching mushrooms. It automatically gains a round of applause and a nice review, providing they never come within five miles of our children. Powerful, psycho Talking Heads-style guitar rock. Rough Trade. 2005.
