Featured Album: Dragonette - Galore
Labels: Canada, Dance/Electronic, Dragonette, Featured Album
Galore the debut album by British/Canadian electropop band Dragonette is finally out in stores and let me tell you it's hot, hot, hot!! The long wait for it was definitely worth it. I had downloaded it in advance and after the first full listen I just had to go out and buy the CD at my local HMV. The album was physically released on September 24th in Europe and Japan, and on September 25th in Canada.
The album contains many of the songs featured on the Dragonette (EP), released independently in 2005 before the band moved to London and signed a deal with Mercury Records. Most of which have been rerecorded and reworked.
New tracks are "Another Day", "Get Lucky", "Black Limousine", "Gold Rush" and "Marvellous".
Notable omissions from the album include the songs "Nemesis", "Sad Eyes", "Titties For Daddy", "Magic Fantastic", "Shock Box" and "Teacher Teacher". "True Believer" is a reworked version of earlier song "Ruthless".
The songs "I Get Around", "True Believer", "Marvellous" and "Competition" all made Popjustice's "Greatest Hits of 2007" list, described as "the most amazing and brilliant pop tunes of 2007."
"I Get Around" was released as a single in April 2007. "Take It Like A Man" was released in July 2007. The third single, "Competition", will be released in October 2007.
