Sarandon - Joe's Record

As Tom indicated a few days back, Sarandon have a new record out on Slumberland Records. 'Joe's Record' is the bands first release since The Completist Library (I think!) compilation CD was released last year. After watching the band at a Lost Music gig a few weeks ago - I knew this 7" would be a treat. And a treat it is. There are three songs on the single and the lead song is actually called 'Joe's Record' and it's a fine piece of indie pop. It's all punchy drums, stop starts and catchy guitars. A fine edition to the Sarandon catalogue. Next up is 'The Linguist' which Tom has already posted for download. It's another top tune. It starts slowly and then kicks off with Sarandons trademark guitar sound - think Big Flame, The Wolfhounds or even The Minutemen!The 'B' side 'Through with Humour' is a slight departure for Sarandon, it's a longer song for a start. Those that know their Sarandon are well aware that their songs don't usually venture much over 2 minutes - but this one must be over 3 minutes. It also features an organ. Which brings a whole new feel to the bands sound. I have played this song the most and I find myself a little hypnotised by the whirling organ. Although, guitar fans, shouldn't be unhappy as they still are prominent throughout. I'd advise anyone to get their hands on this fine little record. It's on nice pink vinyl too. Cracking stuff.
