Release Notes:
Six by Seven formed in 1996, in Nottingham England. Shortly thereafter, the band
attracted record company interest and played to a room full of A'R men...the
room was emptied even before the first 15 minute song was over.
Undeterred, the band saw offers for opening slots with Rocket from the Crypt,
Girls Against Boys, and others. When their first single was released in 1997,
NME described it as "one of the greatest debut singles of all time" and the
records sold out within 3 days. Their debut album in 1998, "The Things We Make"
saw a monumental amount of critical acclaim, and the single "Candlelight" went
to number 62 in the UK charts.
The band then started down the road of incessant touring, playing Glastonbury,
Reading, and touring with The Delgados, Ash, The Manic Street Preachers, The
Dandy Warhols, and Placebo, touring Europe, Japan, the US, and Canada.
In 2000, the band's second album was released, again to critical acclaim. NME
gave it a 9/10! The band continued touring, this time headlining larger venues
and touring with Placebo...
Fast-forward to 2007, and we have the band's fourth album and latest
masterpiece, simply entitled "04." The record was partially recorded and mixed
by both Tim Holmes (Death in Vegas) and Dave Fridmann (Mercury Rev, Flaming
Lips, etc). "04" sees the band return to form, writing beautifully elegant
soundscapes, with earnest and untouchable vocal melodies and a touch of
electronics.
For fans of post-rock, space-influenced, rock and roll, "04" will not
disappoint. You'll see Bloc Party wearing Six By Seven T-shirts in their promo
pics ("Eat Junk Become Junk"), you'll see members of Spiritualized performing
with the band, you'll hear all the magazines sing their praises both recorded
and live, but most importantly you'll hear earnest, honest, rock and roll from
guys that can do you no wrong.
