completemusicupdate.com:

National Album Day is coming back for a fifth year! This year the theme is debut albums. We already knew that. But now we have some ambassadors!For the uninitiated, National Album Day is the one and only day of the year where everyone in the UK listens to nothing but full LPs for 24 hours solid.

Throughout the day, they post on social media, call friends, stage symposiums, launch podcasts, and write letters to long lost relatives about all the things they have discovered along the way.

It’s like Christmas but better.It’ll all take place on 15 Oct, and this year the ambassadors for the event who will help to guide you through the strange and confusing world of albums are: Franz Ferdinand, KSI, The Mysterines, Sam Ryder and The Staves.

And by 15 Oct you will be able to listen to debut albums from all of them – Ryder’s being released the day before.“What a glorious medium the album is”, says Franz Ferdinand frontman Alex Kapranos, getting right into the spirit of the event. “On the most basic level it’s a bunch of songs that sound good together, but what I love is that it is a moment in time for the artist and the listener, a way to define a period of a lifetime.
