Arkells: Jackson Square

(Dine Alone, 2008)

Discovery: The people at Dine Alone sent over the Arkells EP "Deadlines" before its release in 2007, and it was apparent to me that this was a band that had something going on. An extensive touring schedule meant I have had the pleaseure of seeing them live many times over the past few years, which is where this band really shines.

Result: This is a great album. While I was a little annoyed that they put ALL the songs from the EP on the record, it's a fantastic listen and reminds me a lot of summer. Definitely worth picking up, and you must get to a live show.

Stand-out Tracks: "Tragic Flaw", "No Champagne Socialist", "I'm Not the Sun"
