Day One by Birds of Tokyo

Day One was Birds of Tokyo's debut album, out on 3 February 2007 through the independent Egg Records, and the Perth band spread the work across the map to make it, cutting tracks in late 2006 at five studios from Fremantle and West Perth to Dunsborough and Melbourne's Sing Sing. Ian Kenny sang, Adam Spark and Miki Cee handled guitars, with Spark adding keyboards, Anthony Jackson played bass and Adam Weston drums.
It's brooding, big-chorused alternative rock that swings between grind and lift, and the singles "Off Kilter", "Black Sheets" and "Wayside" made the case. Triple J put three of its songs on high rotation, and while it only scraped onto the ARIA chart at No. 88, it sat in the top ten of the AIR independent chart for 36 weeks straight and won the band two Western Australian Music Industry Awards in 2007 and two more in 2008.
