Futureheads

The new album, News and Tributes, from The Futureheads is our pick for this week. From Amazon.com:

Best known for a spastic, heavily accented post-punk cover of Kate Bush's
"Hounds of Love" that went Top 10 in the UK, this British quartet attempts to
kick away from its '80s-inspired comrades--such as Franz Ferdinand and Kaiser
Chiefs--on their second album. Not that there's any shortage of spiky riffs,
jerky rhythms, and off-kilter harmonies on News and Tributes. But get past the
more pedestrian fare like "Yes/No" and "Return of the Berserker," and the full
scope of the Futureheads' ambition reveals itself, particularly in the poppiest
track, "Skip To The End." Meanwhile, "Thursday" is laced with a distinct doo-wop
feel, "Favours for Favours" shows the band's softer side, and the jagged "Burnt"
proves that the group can approach greatness on a song of its very own.--Aidin
