For The First Time is the debut album of the seven-piece band Black Country, New Road. The Brits don't take genres too seriously and they also took a different approach to the recording process for this album. They wanted to convey the same energy as in a live show and therefore decided to rehearse as little as possible. The written songs were recorded in a highly improvisational setting. In the… opening track you can hear how the saxophone enters into a dialogue with the keys and percussion. The album has only six tracks, but within those, the band swings in all directions with nervous rhythms, graceful guitar playing and inspired saxophone playing. Tension is the key word, because as a listener you never know which direction it will take next, culminating in Science Fair, which unfolds like a fever dream. The band's final sound hangs somewhere between Radiohead and Jungle By Night. The record was mixed by Savours, who also worked on mbv (2013) of My Bloody Valentine. (JvQ)more
