Our Take

In a musical landscape cluttered with copycats and carbon copies, Black Country/New Road effortlessly stand out with their debut album "For The First Time." This eclectic eight-piece band from London combines post-punk, jazz, and spoken word in a way that is truly unique and thrilling.

From the haunting opening track "Instrumental" to the explosive closer "Opus," the album takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. The dynamic interplay between saxophone, violin, and guitar creates a sonic landscape that is both chaotic and mesmerising.

Lead vocalist Isaac Wood's witty and introspective lyrics add an extra layer of depth to the music. His deadpan delivery on tracks like "Science Fair" and "Track X" is both satirical and unnerving, creating a sense of unease that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Each song on the album feels like a journey, with unexpected twists and turns that keep you guessing. The band's ability to seamlessly blend genres and experiment with sound is a testament to their creativity and musicianship.

Overall, "For The First Time" is a bold and ambitious debut that solidifies Black Country/New Road as one of the most exciting bands to emerge in recent years. With their fearless approach to music-making, this seven-piece collective is poised to shake up the music industry and leave a lasting impression on listeners worldwide.
