The Horrors "Strange House" (2007) [iTunes Link]

2007 highly anticipated debut album from The Horrors, the most exciting and divisive band to emerge in 2006, They crashed out of Southend with a thrilling and amphetamine-wired take on '60s R&B and Garage Rock. Strange House sees the band put their Post-Punk aesthetic into overdrive, referencing everyone from The Birthday Party through to The Cramps, and managing to sound like no-one else around at the moment. Including the singles ‘Sheena Is A Parasite’, ‘Death At The Chapel’, ‘Count In Fives’ and ‘Gloves’, the album is described by Vice as "12 songs of snarling, violent, anarchic ,Garage Pop that makes 90 percent of the new bands in the world suddenly irrelevant."
