reviews
"The
most striking thing...is that they seem to know about everything...
Intelligent and original, Luxembourg is a small but fabulous place to
be..."
CMU
"The
barnstorming debut album from this neo-Brit-pop quintet... Crammed with
dramatic sounding tunes which build up into anthemic singalong choruses..."
Nude
"You'll
wonder how you ever survived without it. Not so much the Marmite of
pop, more the olive, or possibly the avocado. Try it, you might even
like it..."
Playlouder
"One
of those genuine every-song-a-single albums, each track sounding like
their final statement to this world... See you in the charts..."
Incendiary
"Every
word and note done that evokes a precise phraseology while bursting
with raw emotion. Classy, and the sort of filth we should throw at our
kids..."
Planet Sound
"n
an month of damp mornings and drizzly days, Luxembourg light everything
up with the release of their album Front...a piece of pop magic..."
Tasty
"It's
a perfectly formed record, an evolutionary magnum opus that represents
five years of coffee, vague disenchantment, and thinking too hard..."
To Hell With
"Luxembourg
conjure up an ur-indieness that high steps out of the whiny ghetto that
constitutes the sensitive constituency of muddled youth..."
Vanguard Online
"Front
is already one of the best things about 2006: knowing, tuneful, intelligent,
glamorous, but above all human and honest... Now the world needs to
listen..."
God Is In The TV
"I
find it incomprehensible that this band are not dominating the airwaves...
An album this good cannot remain unnoticed for much longer..."
CLUAS
"Crashing
guitars, noisy rhythms and an aching, melancholy lyric, pained at times...rich,
campy and idiosyncratic... Dark and quirky pop..."
Leeds Guide
"Confident
and knowing. A whole bunch of declamatory dramas of the kitchen sink
variety with plenty of humour and honest human sentiment..."
Trakmarx
"The
13 songs that make up Front are filled to the brim with life and desire
and overwhelming potency... Luxembourg are stepping out of the shadows..."
PowPowPow
"After
45 minutes of this gem of an album, it’s impossible not to have
been a little bit infected by their genius... They’re contagious
and charming..."
Indigo Flow
"With
their entrancingly delightful "pop noir" melodics, low, crooning
voices and witty lyrics, it isn't hard to understand the Pulp and early
Smiths comparisons..."
London Student
"The
world is crying out for a new breed of pop intelligentsia to idolise
– well, look no further, the Luxembourg army is recruiting...
Brilliant..."
Kendallrock
"Finally
an LP from that refined bunch of aesthetes. All their finest gear from
the last few years here, sounding large and lively, as they should be..."
Vanity Project
"Deliciously
British, devastatingly guitary... Luxembourg write unnervingly spot
on lyrics that put things just how you only wish you could yourself..."
Subba-Cultcha
"An
entire album of do or die performances...to hear an outfit on such creative
fire is exactly what we signed up for..."
