Supergrass - Road To Rouen

Supergrass got the drop on me by recording a new album unbeknownst to me (and millions of adoring fans the world over) that is due out on August 15th. Road To Rouen marks yet another chapter in a decade-long Britpop legacy that is smattered with wine stains, cigarette ashes, rocked tour buses, and, finally, a look inside at the folkier things in life. Road To Rouen most certainly will satisfy the die-hard Supergrass fan with its array of deeply personal pop ballads, '60's-laced psychedelic noodlings, acoustic-driven travelling tunes, and just straight-ahead rock 'n roll tunes. I have to believe that John Lennon would listen to this record and probably say to himself, "Well, it seems these lads have learned a thing or two from me." It's not my favorite Supergrass record, but it's a welcome addition to their collection. That's good enough for me. Here's the title track from the album.
