Sarandon - The Completist's Library
Reviewed by david
The Completist's Library re-treads all the ground that Sarandon has covered since its birth in 2003. The Brits' brand of minimalist, angular pop music is sharp and quick, with the 32 tracks only reaching about half the disc's capacity. With slicing, skittery D. Boon-esque guitars and simple repitition like The Fall, the compilation is one of those releases where if you love one track, you'll love them all. The band claims Gang of Four, Josef K and bIG fLAME as influences, but then they say that Sarandon sounds nothing like that. They don't. They're brief, concise, and really, really catchy.
