Supergrass- Road To Rouen

[MrBrau1]

It finally leaked.

I've been listening to it all day. Lots of different instrumetation. Acoustic guitars, pianos, keys, strings. Only 1 song under 2 minutes . Really melodic stuff. The songs have lots of different movements, big drops and such. Miles away from the buzz-saw guitar pop of "I Should Coco." But the record is still only 35 minutes long. They keep progressing in their songwriting, with really nice results.

Favs:

Tales Of Endurance (Parts 4,5 & 6)
Roxy
Kick In The Teeth

Awesome. Downloading it now.

Yay, Supergrass!

I need to get involved in the digital age.

Looking forward to hearing this.

Intrigued...I havent thought about Supergrass in awhile.

 

[typhoon]

The MP3s I got tagged the genre as "Indie." THEY'RE ON EMI/PARLOPHONE, YOU IDIOTS.

Anyway, it's a neat album. Like Brau said, the arrangements are a lot more elaborate than their earlier stuff, but the melodic pop craftsmanship's still there. It's their Revolver, I guess.

Ah, Supergrass! I saw their first 2 vids on a video show here in Australia last night (for the millionth time I might add). I looked at them very differently after the Danny and Jude/Sadie wife swapping scandal!!!

i love this band. criminally underrated.

Road to Rouen is a great album - my only complaint is that it is too short. only 8 proper songs really, and one instrumental. but every song is killer.

www.eachnotesecure.com has the Road to Rouen single available......

Sweet...Thanks Joe!

Indeed, I've been wanting to hear this for sometime but was too lazy to go find it.

 

[MissMaCo]

sorry to interrupt but what is Rouen ? cause it's the name of a French city here in Normandy

 

[zoney!]

probably named after the town!

 

[meegannie]

I live on Rouen Road. It's probably about me.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

That will be quite ALRIGHT, then, eh, Megan?

Or do you think perhaps they're just IN IT FOR THE MONEY?

etc. etc.

Anyway I love the new song.

 

[MissMaCo]

awww Meggie ! No I think it's about the French Rouen

 

[zonelistener]

It could be like the "road to Ruin" too.
