How elusive is SLC indie-rock outfit ¡andale!? Very. We still love’ em, though- there’s no denying the aural-magnetic pull of tunes like “eventually,” “black is bad,” “unforgiving sky” (check out Myspace.com/onduhlay) and the SLUG: Death by Salt II track “hit the ground” (thus far, ¡andale!’s only official release), and we scour the club listings anxiously for one of their rarer-than-bigfoot-sightings gigs. Call us suckers for girls with guitars, but when (or if) you hear ¡andale!’s efortless harmonies and sultry chording you’ll be a believer, too.

Andale!
Self-Titled
Pseudo Recordings
Street: 06.07
Andale! = Yeah Yeah Yeahs + Pretty Girls Make Graves + The Wolfs
After years of teasing and torturing with a single-track acting as the only officially released material, Andale! have finally released a full-length album. Although the wait was long, the self-titled album lives up to the precedent set by "Hit the Ground," the track featured on DBS II. The album opens with the infectious and hard-hitting "Walk Away" and only gets better from there. The chuggy guitars and laughable lyrics featured on "Fucking Tourettes" lead quite nicely into the mellow verses and addictive chorus of "I Liked You Better When." Two of my favorite tracks were "Unforgiving Sky" and "Messed Up," but really any way you add it up all 10 tracks on this album are delicious. Bravo, Andale!
