Silent Alarm is arguably the greatest indie rock album of all time. And I’m not even exaggerating. That’s the first thing that pops into my head whenever I hear a song from the album.
The moment the count-in starts on Like Eating Glass and Matt Tong announces himself with THAT opening 30sec or so... incredible.
Yeah, Silent Alarm is ridiculous. It plays like a greatest hits album. Weekend is great a well. A rainy day album for me. And, yeah, it's essentially a phenomenal double album when you bundle it with the b-sides.
This tunnel in the artwork is in Glasgow. Kele also wore a t-shirt with that on their Tiny Desk show ages ago so must really like it.
Album announcement tomorrow I think?? I may have misheard on radio but this is dark and intense with a super good payoff, damn
well I like it more than Flirting Again lol. killer bassline, I'm begging Kele to find some new subjects to write about though
