What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Ant feeling happy.

Pete & The Pirates are all over the radio at the moment and you guys have been lapping up their stuff for a bit now. It's good that they've become successful with Stolen Records behind them retaining a grass roots indie ethos. Their debut album is 13 tracks of their distinctive guitar pop sound. If you're only familiar with this band through the current single then it really is worth digging deeper into their stuff. It's not as radio friendly but is far more interesting. They know how to write a catchy song I tell thee. 'Little Death'CD /LP on Stolen Recordings.

What the label says:

Something happened to Pete and the Pirates during the course of 2007. Over the course of playing all of this summer’s major festivals they went from being an occasionally great live band, to a consistently brilliant one.
Their debut LP - Little Death - is further proof of a band, who given the time and space afforded to them by a label that treats them as artists with longevity, have crafted a collection of timeless, near perfect pop songs.
Following on from the breakthrough success of ltd singles ‘Come on Feet’ and ‘Knots’ (both big favourites with Lamacq and Zane at Radio 1, plus Jonathan Ross on Radio 2), the band’s first full album is giddy rush of spiky guitar pop and unabashed romanticism.
The Album was recorded with Gareth Parton (The Killers, The Go! Team, Foals) and is released on Stolen Recordings – one of the last bastions of truly great independent music in the UK. Little Death’s cover art designed by Jonny Sanders, drummer in Pete and the Pirates.

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.

'That's just what pop should be like. Loud, fast and very exciting.'
