A Strange Education by The Cinematics

A Strange Education, the debut album from Glasgow's The Cinematics, arrived on TVT in March 2007, hitting British shops a day before American ones, and it wears its post-punk revival credentials proudly. Stephen Hague produced, and the four-piece of singer Scott Rinning, Ramsay Miller, bassist Adam Goemans and drummer Ross Bonney deliver moody, widescreen guitar rock with a serious case of the northern-city blues.
"Break" is the standout, tense and brooding, with Rinning pushing hard against the gloom. The whole record has that glossy, dark-eyed sheen the era loved. The band made just one more album, Love and Terror, before splitting in 2011.
