#5debutalbums0509 10,000 Things - 10,000 Things (2005) I saw this band supporting Gang Of Four at Leeds Uni in 2005. Coincidentally, I'm wearing the tour t-shirt today #Weird. Blues rock with genuinely odd lyrics like "Titanium Underpants". 80% Dr. Feelgood, 20% Guns & Roses, or something like that.

#5debutalbums0509 Alexi Murdoch - Time Without Consequence (2009) Great debut even if it owes lots to the style and phrasing of Nick Drake with a nod towards John Martyn. All My Days is a cracking track to start this intimate folk pop set. #NowPlaying #MusicSky

#5debutalbums0509 #albumoftheday Little Jackie - The Stoop (2008) Caffeine and nicotaine fueled modern soul. This was a recommendation from on here, and it's excellent. Sassy lyrics which make poetry like rhyming Psychobitch with Wicked Witch. Best track - Guys Like When Girls Kiss. #NowPlaying

Baroness - "Red Album"
2007

Solid debut of some stoner rock. This is a good album to zone out to.

Baby Elephant - "Turn My Teeth Up!"
2007

One off collaboration between Bernie Worrell, Prince Paul, and Don Newkirk. Really great stuff. Guest spots from George Clinton, Shock G, Reggie Watts, Nona Hendryx, David Byrne, Gabby La La, and Roc Raida. Slept on album.

Architect - "All Is Not Lost"

Some pretty brutal metalcore. Nice debut.

Ambitions - "Stranger"

One and only album from this punk band. This is only ok.

The Aliens - "Astronomy For Dogs"
2007

The Beta Band with a replacement singer. I always resented this album because it wasn't The Beta Band and that probably wasn't fair because this is a pretty good album in it's own right.

Alcest - "Souvenirs D'Un Autre Monde"
2007

Holy hell.... This is like an all out guitar assault, in a good way. According to Discogs, this genre is called Blackgaze, which i've never heard the term before, but sure. This is great.

Ahmir - "The Gift"
2007

Pop group from Boston. This is definitely.... not good. At least it's not for me.

I’m seriously not sure what I’m going to do about my #5DebutAlbums0509 ; I’ve got a dozen albums I love pretty much equally to somehow squeeze into a Top 5…anyone got any spare votes they can lend me?

Adam Franklin - "Bolts Of Melody"
2007

Another one of those, I have no idea where I got this album from or when, but here it is... Sounds like some pretty laid back rock. Almost shoegazey but not quite.

Abominable Putridity - "In The End Of Human Existence"
2007

These type of vocals always crack me up. Dude almost sounds like a bunch of frogs or something with his guttural noises. Sounds like he could be an alien. 😆 The music behind it is solid though.

School of Seven Bells - Alpinisms

I’m surprised I haven’t seen this one mentioned yet; the perfect intersection of shoegaze and dreampop, to say I was obsessed at the time is a wild understatement.

Martyn
Great Lengths
2009

I prefer Ghost People but this 3024 debut is really good. Somewhere between dubstep and house lies this awesome record. Natural Selection and Seventy Four are really nice and I love hidden track Phone Lines.

Making the case for shoegaze in 06, their live show made more sense than the record, which definitely has highs a la Selina's Melodie Fountain. Just a little patchy.

My Latest Novel
Wolves
2006

For those who found Arcade Fire just too jaunty. A more delicate and subtle version of that (and Scottish!) Lovely debut on Bella Union.

Die Monitr Batss - Girls of War

Brutal Neo-No Wave from the Gossip’s guitarist’s other (short lived) band. If you think ‘Confusion is Sex’ is Sonic Youth’s most underrated album, you’ll find plenty to like here.
