Posted about there new album in the other thread but since then I've been listening to it over and over, can't get it out of my head it's so fucking good! So I thought they deserved a thread of their own in here.
Experimental art pop at it's best, fun and quirky but not cheesy. Very intelligent and complex musical arrangements. Can hear a lot of influences in there, not least the Pixies/Frank Black, but also Deerhoof, Stereolab, Talking Heads, Queen.
Catch it while you still can on 3voor12-

So I went and had a look about YouTube and guess what, they also do really funny and interesting videos-

And this is a very nice live clip from a few years ago, small venue, good sound quality, looks like a truly awesome gig would loved to have been there, great live music and and lots of fit indie girls in the crowd all happy and dancing.

Favourite new band discovery of the year so far. I'd recommend also listening to everything they've put up on their myspace. There's a really interesting cover version of What's Love Got To Do With It by Tina Turner.

I also love the cover of the new album it's a picture of an explosion that kind of looks like a child's bear melting.
