Brit Daniel is one of, if not the most, masterful songwriters of our time. He has found that perfect balance, between uber hooky pop and innovative experimentation. Despite the complexity of the music, their live show is not stripped down. Don't miss this brilliant performance. Recorded live at Scala's in London Feb, 25, 2008. Excellent recording quality.
