The View's fifth full-length studio album, 2015's Ropewalk, features more of the Scottish outfit's exuberant and lyrical post-punk-influenced sound. Produced by Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond, Jr., Ropewalk also includes production from Swedish-born engineer Gus Oberg (the Strokes, Moby, the Postelles) and mixing from Justin Gerrish (Vampire Weekend, Ra Ra Riot, the Strokes). The album follows up the View's well-received 2012 effort, Cheeky for a Reason, which reached number one on the U.K. independent albums chart. Included on Ropewalk is the leadoff single "Marriage." ~ Matt Collar
