iTunes Review
On their debut album, Kicking the National Habit, London duo Grand National unveil an interesting twist on indie pop. Their sound suggests yacht-rockers under the influence of the kind of midtempo skank Sting and the Police perfected in their early days. A distinctly English ambivalence lurks within songs such as “Drink to Moving On,” “Playing in the Distance,” and “Boner,” while “Daylight Goes” and “North Sound Off” suggest happier resolutions. Reaching for “a strange magnificent noise,” the two make something nearly as good, and something that suggests fine things to come. Nods toward the UK’s post-dance culture lend an enticing flexibility to the whole project. That gives Grand National plenty of room to maneuver; their next moves will be worth following.

I love it!

A Different kind of Sound
by FulfreezModern rock with an old school funk flare. Only the first half of the album is really worth listening to on a consistent basis but that portion of the album is incredibly strong and very hard to get out of your head once you've been listening to them. Maybe not worth a purchase of the entire album but well worth the 4 bucks for the first 4 tracks.
