List of songs recorded by Guillemots

As of 2018^[update], the indie rock band Guillemots have recorded more than 80 songs for their four studio albums and other official releases. The band was formed in November 2004,^[1] with their first official material being I Saw Such Things in My Sleep, an extended play (EP) released in September 2005.^[2] The EP contained four songs, including "Made-Up Lovesong #43", a track that would also feature on their first studio album, Through the Windowpane.^[3] The release of I Saw Such Things in My Sleep was followed three months later by Guillemots' debut single, "Trains to Brazil".^[4] Like "Made-Up Lovesong #43", it was also included on Through the Windowpane, which was released in July 2006.^[5] The album's songs were well received by critics: review aggregator Metacritic gave the record a score of 81 out of 100, indicating "universal acclaim".^[6][7] Craig McLean of The Observer described them as "gorgeous tunes that are lithe enough to cope with the little bursts of sonic madness".^[8] Two additional tracks were released as singles from the album: "We're Here" and "Annie, Let's Not Wait".

Of the twelve songs on Through the Windowpane, nine were written by lead singer Fyfe Dangerfield.^[3] Speaking in 2008, Guillemots member MC Lord Magrão remarked: "For the first album, Fyfe handled most of the songs. ... We worked with him and developed [them]."^[9] In October 2006, Guillemots brought out Of the Night, a four-track EP that featured one song written by each member of the band.^[10] Eighteen months later, the band released their second album, Red.^[11] This album's songs were more pop-orientated than their debut's, and were written by all four members of the group.^[12][13] Magrão explained: "With the second [album], we ended up improvising loads and getting all the new songs from all of the improvised sessions we had."^[9] Of the eleven tracks on the record, nine were credited to Guillemots, with the remaining two being credited to Dangerfield alone.^[14] Red's songs received less critical acclaim than their debut's; Metacritic awarded the album a score of 60 out of 100, suggesting "mixed or average reviews".^[15] Four tracks—"Get Over It", "Falling Out of Reach" and a double A-side of "Kriss Kross" and "Clarion"—were released as singles in the UK.

Guillemots' third album, Walk the River, was released in April 2011.^[16] It was the first Guillemots album to feature neither a strings nor brass section – its tracks were described by The Independent as being more "noticeably stripped down" than those of previous releases.^[16] Unlike Through the Windowpane and Red, singles from Walk the River were distributed exclusively online, with no accompanying physical release.^[17] Reviews were generally favourable, with Metacritic reporting a score of 69 out of 100 for the record.^[18] Three singles were taken from the album: "The Basket", "I Must Be a Lover" and "I Don't Feel Amazing Now". On 7 May 2012, the band announced their intention to release four albums during the year, each representing a different season^[19] – the first, Hello Land!, was released through Greedbag the same day.^[20]
