Sometimes light and spacious, at other times eerie and dense with an ominous weight, this self titled album touches upon Velvet Underground, The Zombies or This Heat while not really having any obvious precursors – a lo-fi masterpiece cloaked in layers of vibrato and guitar wash.

3 peoples: one ukelele, one guitar, and more than one drum come together from other places and make some bang up indie pop with extremely cool experimental vocal harmonies and driving rhythms. If you haven't heard these cats yet you will... or if you won't you should... or just listen already! Aren't you tired of reading my ramblings?

Emotion stirrers, as great artists oughta be, done with their introspective honesty and passionate songwriting. This is rock, very good rock. Here you'll find them stripped down: acoustic guitar and glockenspiel. Four songs: Burn Your Life Down, Back In Your Head, Dark Come Soon (my fav), The Con, and an interview.

Unique wailing vocals that remind me of Native American chants. Anthem rock with elaborate arrangements featuring huge arrays of musicians. Their debut album funeral was arguably the best indie release of 2004.
