I’ve had a chance to hear some of The Fratellis album “Costello Music.” If you’ve been watching TV lately you’ve most likely heard them in one of several Apple Ipod commercials. I’ve got to say, the Apple people pick some good music these days. It must come from all of their iTunes experience.
The song from the commercial, “Flathead,” is an all around great song. From ambient acoustic guitar and gritty vocals during the verse, to soaring vocal harmonies in the chorus, the song just makes you want to dance. But you could tell from the iPod people.
About half of the songs on the album are similar, in that the band sings along with the guitar melodies. At first, it sounds like little kids and seems kind of cheesy, but once you get past it, it’s so much fun. I have them on constant rotation on my drive to work.
They remind me most of the beatles with an edgier, lounder sound. Most of all, they remind me of a group from the suburbs of philly called Pepper’s Ghost.
If you’re into brit pop as much as I am, you’ll love this band.
