The Strange Death of Liberal England have so far released two singles and one “mini-album”. The first single, titled “A Day Another Day”, was released by Fantastic Plastic early in 2007, it was greatly received by fans and music critics alike, with “Oh Solitude” following in June 2007. The band released their first “mini-album”, called “Forward March!”, on 9 July 2007 which received high praise – “Mute Magic, 7/10” – NME, “quite possibly the best debut album you will leap yourself upon in 2007… 4.5/5” – gigwise.com, “7/10” – Drowned In Sound. In 2008 TSDOLE released the single Angelou which includes the b side “Scared to death”.
“They sound like God's own orchestra” – Uncut
“So unimpeachably huge it would probably need at least three cranes to shift it.”
– Drowned in Sound
“They sound like Arcade Fire with tattoos and have a singer so dreamily effete he makes Neil Young seem like a car wash worker.” – NME
