For The First Time (Vinyl) - By:Black Country, New Road - Model Number: ZEN269

Description

Latest stars from the burgeoning Brixton Windmill scene Black Country, New Road release their much-anticipated debut album For the First Time on Ninja Tune.
Recorded live over a six-day period in March with producer Andy Savours (My Bloody Valentine), the album is the perfect capturing of a new band and all the energy, ferocity and explosive charge that comes with that whilst also clearly the work of a group who have no interest in repetition, one-note approaches or letting creative stagnation set in.
For the First Time is a sonic time capsule that somehow manages to bottle the past, the present and the future.
The album reflects where the band were as a unit after a year of heavy touring. This was a place where deft, free-flowing and intuitive playing melded with tightly coiled eruptive moments. We wanted it to sound exactly how we love to sound live, says saxophonist Lewis Evans. This is basically representative of our first 18 months, continues frontman Isaac Wood. Indeed the band found they had to stop themselves running too far ahead in order to document this album in a way that felt as truthful as possible. We see this as being a stop in the road explains Isaac. I've always been interested in a really honest portrayal of what a band is and what they've been working on. I think it's really nice if people can see an artist like: this was them in the early days, this was their next phase and that they're quite clear and honest about genuine progression as people and musicians.
