Singles --- Future Islands --- Recommended by YorkeDaddy and James.
This came highly recommended as you can see, and when it started up I really liked the sound, thought here we go with another discovery on the level of Chvrches. But then the singing began. I tried, I really did. I got about five tracks in before I decided I'd had enough. The singer's voice just grated on me like nails on a blackboard and I couldn't handle it. A real pity, as I was digging the music. But if I can't listen to the singer then I can't listen to the album, is how it is.
If he had even shared vocal duties with another person on some of the tracks I might have been able to ignore his annoying voice, but he seems to do all the singing himself. I'm sure it's not that he's a bad singer, just his voice went right through me. So unfortunately I'll have to chalk this up as one which may have gotten away.
Rec rating: 7/10 for the music but after the singing began,
2/10
