The Fratellis - Flathead (Ep) (CD)

All Music Guide

Although their debut, Costello Music, was already out in the U.K. by the time The Flathead EP was issued, American listeners were finally offered a taste of what the Fratellis were doing with the four songs found here. Costello Music would come out in the U.S. a few months later, but the EP contains two of the singles from the album, "Henrietta" and the iPodfriendly "Flathead," as well as two other songs, "Stacie Anne" and "Cigarello," both of which also do a good job at showing off the band's bright, dancey Scottish garage rock, and set the stage for the upcoming fulllength.
