The discography of Canadian rock band Japandroids consists of three studio albums, one compilation album, two extended plays, ten singles, and two music videos.
After self-releasing two EPs, Japandroids signed to independent Canadian label Unfamiliar Records. Their debut album, Post-Nothing , was released in Canada on April 28, 2009. Pitchfork awarded 'Best New Music' to both the album and lead single "Young Hearts Spark Fire", helping to expose the band to a large audience outside of Canada. [1] [2] Japandroids were subsequently signed to Polyvinyl, who re-released the album worldwide on August 4, 2009. [3] Many of the un-included tracks that the duo had written for the album were later recorded and released in 2010 as series of limited edition 7" singles. [4] These tracks include "Art Czars", "Younger Us", and "Heavenward Grand Prix". The same year, Japandroids re-released their first two EPs as a compilation titled No Singles .
Japandroids' second album, Celebration Rock , was released by Polyvinyl on June 5, 2012, preceded by a limited edition 7" of the album's first single "The House That Heaven Built". [5] [6] The album was released to widespread critical acclaim, appearing on many year-end best-of lists. The Globe and Mail named it the best Canadian album of 2012, while CBC declared it the best rock album of the year, later ranking it #91 on its list of The 100 Greatest Canadian Albums Ever. [7] [8] [9] Their third album, Near to the Wild Heart of Life , was released on January 27, 2017, by ANTI-. [10]
