Give Blood!

08/18/05
. (Gigante) Give Blood is the debut record from UK madcaps, Brakes (out on Rough Trade Records on September 13th, 2005). Consisting of one part British Sea Power (Eamon Hamilton), two parts Electric Soft Parade (Tom White and Alex White), and one part Tenderfoot (Marc Beatty), Brakes is a heroic endeavor, alive with a vigorous musical heartbeat. Give Blood is born of robust comradery and just enough magnetic tape to capture the incredible interplay between these four lads.

However you look at it, Give Blood always seems to have something new to offer. Take the strident gallantry of "All Nite Disco," Give Blood's first single, and let it jangle across your conscious. Or follow the Sea and Cake-esque warmth of "You're So Pretty." It's the heart of the music that makes this diverse collection of songs sound so coherent. Recorded live to tape in just five days, Give Blood gives it all.
