Johnny Foreigner - Waited Up Til It Was Light

Without a doubt one of the most heavily hyped bands of 2008, Johnny Foreigner follow a similar format to other success story 'Los Campesinos' with male/female call back vocals over sprawling guitars and lots of noise but less twee. Essentially the is a lot going on here but the album some how is more infectious and downright more impressive then 'Hold On Now Youngster' by Los Campesinos, the main reason for this is down to the production choices made... whilst not bare it's certainly a lot less polished and more lo-fi then Campesinonses effort... with a hyper active attitude, clever lyrics and tonnes of depth this is easily one of the best album releases of the year & is easily one of the best debuts I have heard for a long long long time.
