"As a songwriter it has to be albums. The full works of art so to speak" DEAD STAR TALK
The clear #1 Oasis - "What’s The Story (Morning Glory)"
Released: 2 October 1995
Label: Creation Records
Awards: Brit Award for British Album of the Year, Brits Album of 30 Years Award, NME Award for Best LP
Genre: Rock, Britpop, Alternative rock
The songwriting and vibe in the band (during the point of recording those songs - the rebellion, attitude, delivery and group dynamic caught on tape) not to be mention the production is 2nd to none and it blew my mind when I heard it the first time as a young teenager. Its the album that made me dedicate my life to music
Kashmir - “The Good Life”
Genre: Rock
Release date: 16 February 1999
As a Danish songwriter, this is the only album written by a Danish band that truly had a massive impact on my teenage years. Fun fact these guys are huge i Mexico but apart from that we’re talking about a seriously overlooked band on the international scale
Blur - “Blur”
Release date: 29 January 1997
Genre: Indie rock; lo-fi; alternative rock; art rock; experimental rock
Label: Food
Length: 56:53
Producer: Stephen Street; Blur
When I saw them premiere “Beetlebum” on top of the pops I was sold on Blur (never bought into the oasis rivalry). Such a great and complicated - yet super accessible album. No idea how they do it. True genius
Brockhoff - “Sharks”
Released: 24 June 2022
Being based in Hamburg and not only living in the past this German lady has to be mentioned. She is releasing some of the best indie rock I’ve heard for years. Unfortunately she hasn’t released an album yet but I will bend the rules to include her debut EP “Sharks”. The voice, those hooks. It stays with you.
High Vis - “Blending”
Release date: 30 September 2022
I will never understand how naturally these lads managed to melt together their very wide age spectrum (from 20’s to 50’s) and throw together Britpop and hardcore vibes. But it truly works and it truly their own thing. Fantastic urgent roar for the working classes.
