Out in the UK on Monday

Here's the notable stuff that's out in the UK on Mon Sept 29th...

SINGLE OF THE WEEK:

The All New Adventures Of Us - "Firetruck" [Vid above. Northampton/Dundee 7-piece whose debut album is out next week.]

Duncan Lloyd - "Suzee" [Vid. 1st single from Maximo Park guitarist's debut solo album. Very Elvis Costello-sounding.]

Frightened Rabbit - "I Feel Better" [No vid? Quite good 3rd single from their 2nd album.]

Oasis - "The Shock Of Lightning" [Vid. 1st single from their 7th album. This is very Oasis-by-numbers and perhaps their worst single ever (though "Lyla" and "The Hindu Times" would be a close 2nd and 3rd.)]

Albums:

Travis - Ode To J. Smith [Vid. Their 6th album, an attempt to return to their Good Feeling '70s-rock sound. I haven't gotten a chance to listen to the whole thing yet, but the 2 singles haven't been promising.]

The Long Weekend - 20 Minutes 13 Stops [Vid. Debut from Medway 6-piece.]

Aliens - Luna [Vid. 2nd album from ex-Beta Band members.]

Out in the U.S. on Tuesday
