Out in the UK on Monday

Here's the notable stuff that's out in the UK on Mon March 24th...

Albums:

Guillemots - Red [2nd album from London 4-piece. I loved their first album, but they've gone all electro-R&B? Oh, and this is the worst album cover of the year.]

Mystery Jets - Twenty One [Stream. 2nd album from London 4-piece. Apparently they've dropped the prog-leanings and gone for a more "pop" sound. Oh, and the dad is no longer in the band.]

Singles:

The Long Blondes - "Century" [YouTube-stream. 1st single from their 2nd album. They've gone all electro-pop.]

Look See Proof - "Do You Think It's Right?" [Vid. 4th single from Hertfordshire 4-piece.]

My Federation - "Don't Wanna Die" [Vid. 2nd single from Brighton 4-piece.]
