I've already mentioned The Black Box Revelation in that famous post about Belgium - as I did with The Van Jets, I mentioned that these guys had a new one out soon, and now it's out. It's called Silver Threats and, well, they still play young, fun garage rock as they're supposed to, but this time there's something more to it. Their first album, Set Your Head On Fire, was badass, LOADS of fun and most of all really, really charming. The charm is not dominating Silver Threats as much as on Set Your Head On Fire, but Silver Threats shows better production and, I think, better musicianship. The songwriting is still good, but this time the focus is more on the songwriting which has led to more melodic tunes. A great example of that is the amazing Part Of Me which kicks in with a VERY distorted bass, an agressive drum rhythm and very sensitive vocals not hitting all the notes. It's brilliant. Have a listen yourself:
