Dardanelles are a four-piece indie rock band from Melbourne, Australia formed in early 2006. Often incorrectly labelled or billed as "The Dardanelles", they are named after the narrow strait in northwestern Turkey of the same name. ==Biography== The founding four members met during university after moving to Melbourne from Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Geelong and shortly afterwards formed the band. After streaming their first recordings online, they were signed to a Sydney-based label who co-opted the songs to form half of the debut EP of the same name. Released in November 2006 to critical acclaim, it spawned the single Origami Tree which spent at least 5 weeks in the top 10 of the Australian Alternative Radio Play Chart.〔() Mosquito's Tweeter〕 A second single, "Of Course You Said", was released later that year alongside remixes by Riot in Belgium and others. "Of Course You Said" and the Origami Tree (Coda) deconstruction that appeared on the EP were recorded six months after the other songs on the disc, and foreshadowed a move into more spatial, experimental and electronic territory. Their debut album ''Mirror Mirror'', released in October 2007, continued the move away from garden variety post-punk towards something more filmic in scope. Widely seen as a departure from their guitar focused debut EP, it took sections of their fanbase and the music industry alike by surprise, and aroused a passionated critical response. It was variously flagged in the domestic music press as "the finest Australian album of 2007 bar none",〔() Album review from Rip it Up Magazine〕 "A seminal record",〔() Album review from Beat Magazine〕 'Flat-out outstanding.... epoch-making', and "the most ambitious record of the year".〔() Profile in 3D World magazine〕 The single Footsteps was subsequently released via iTunes and received heavy rotation on Triple J, Australian community radio, and one of the United States' largest indie stations. In the week of its release, it was the second most added track to alternative radio in Australia behind Yeah Yeah Yeahs. After several re-pressings, the album was reissued in 2008 with a second disc featuring 8 bonus tracks. The band are currently working on their second album, mentioning that it'll be a departure from their previous work. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dardanelles (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
