FRANZ NICOLAY
Franz Nicolay's debut album is fantastic and one of the best things we've heard around here for a long time. If you like Franz's other bands:The Hold Steady and World Inferno Society you will love this but it also has a ton of other influences with the likes of Thin Lizzy, Elvis Costello, Scott Walker, Brel, AMC and not to forget some punk rock for good measure. An album that name checks's Mark Eitzel's "Songs of Love" has to be great with us. Here some tracks for yourself on Franz's site now and hopefully on our site soon. The album is produced by James Frazee and sounds fantasic loud. The European pressing features two tracks not on the US cd and is in a lovely digipack with a 12 page booklet so dont just download it.
