Japandroids "Fate & Alcohol" 2xLP (Clear Vinyl)

After seven years, Japandroids returned with Fate and Alcohol, their fourth and final full-length. The album is at once a return to form and a thrilling step forward, testament to the sort of chemistry that they've honed over the course of 18 years and hundreds of shows side-by-side. Their aim was simply to write songs that they'd enjoy playing live, without sacrificing any of the nuance or ambition that marked their previous effort.   1 Eye Contact High2 D&T3 Alice4 Chicago5 Upon Sober Reflection6 Fugitive Summer7 A Gaslight Anthem8 Positively 34th Street9 One Without the Other10 All Bets Are Off
