So it absolutely, 100% has to be an artist or group on Island Records, right?!?!

 

[Gavaxeman]

Ok here it is:

Clue 1 corresponds with the song "Where is Home?" Home is London which is in the UK which is an island, they're living on an island

Clue 2 corresponds with the song "Uniform" and who wears a uniform, your friendly neighborhood postal worker!

Clue 3 is a picture of a witch, or is it? Did you see it right away or did you have to hunt for it? Sort of like the song "Hunting for Witches"

Clue 4 looks like a sad dad who has a "Selfish Son"....

We're through the looking glass people, it's clearly Bloc Party's second record "A Weekend in the City" and I just want to thank you for getting this reissued for us all and keeping it under wraps this whole time!

I remember really enjoying this album but I'm not sure if it's because I loved the first album so much that I refused to believe that the second album wasn't as good or it's actually good?

Great album


But not the one

Nope

 

[Gavaxeman]

it's a post (rock/punk/britpop) band
it's the band 2nd album
the band is on Island records
there's some satanic/witchcraft reference in the record title

I'm getting there....

25% correct

Clue 5 - bit early as I’m out and about next few days - and for those that may have missed it - this is actually the 6th clue

 

[TrainFan73]

Well, now we know it is King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.

Can you explain the reasoning for this guess ?

 

[Gavaxeman]

Can you explain the reasoning for this guess ?

Not that it’s right

 

[jt4527]

Well, you said @panino guess from the clues was 25% correct, so I took post-rock band Mogwai, their 2nd album and the fact that Mogwais are little gremlin things and might be considered satanic/witchcrafty.

75% chance of hitting that 25%

See the logic

Wrong 25%

 

[Joe Mac]

Sorry been distracted. I’m going to pipe up and say my feeling is it’s on that witchy island sub label that released all the Fairport Convention and John Martyn stuff.
