Party Album [Vinyl]

Famous - Party Album [Vinyl]

Famous’s debut LP "Party Album", is the record Famous has been threatening to make for eight years – an album that lead-singer Jack Merrett intimates is a lot like Famous itself, “a long coming-of-age drama that always threatens to end but goes on forever”. Coming to prominence as a part of the celebrated South-London Brixton Windmill scene alongside Black Country, New Road and Black Midi, the group quickly drew recognition for its boundary-pushing, post- post-punk sound. Jack Saunders of BBC Radio One crowned Famous “the most original band in the UK right now”, The Line of Best Fit called them “almost unforgivably ambitious”, and Antony Fantano called them “dope”. Dork gave a resounding 5-star review, declaring it “as singularly independent and entirely of its own world as anything else you’ll listen to”. The debut LP has received support from BBC 6 Music, with plays from Mary Anne Hobbs and Huw Stephens.
