This Scottish quartet's first album is practically a best-of set — four songs previously appeared as high-buzz indie singles. Glasvegas create wall-of-distortion melodrama that draws on the Jesus and Mary Chain, Sixties girl groups and the Velvet Underground's rain-dance pulse. It makes for a compelling blend of grays — "Flowers and Football Tops" is based on the real-life murder of a Glasgow teenager — lit by singer James Allan's high, bright hurrahs. You may get lost in his thick Scottish accent — until the chant-ready choruses come around.
