Any other fans ?

Their album is absolutely brilliant.

I know it's only January but it will take something special to beat this as album of the year for me.

Just looked them up on myspace and i have to get this album. Cheers Stephen.

yeah they're ace, only heard the four songs on their myspace, looking forward to the album
not sure about album of the year after british sea powers effort, thats guna take some topping for me!

08 is looking such a damn good year for music
especially if y'consider the physical release of in rainbows was 2008 too!

yeah i have the album, and i agree i think it's gonna take alot to beat this.

Campus is probably the best song i've heard all year.

Amazing band.
Been my top recommendation for the past 4/5 months, telling everyone about them.
The album is fantastic.
I had the chance to put them on in Leeds this Saturday as they're over doing a few shows in London, but very annoyingly couldn't.
They will be touring the UK properly later this year....

I've only heard Mansard (sp?) Roof and A-Punk so far, the former doesn't do much for me but the latter is ace.

To be honest, they are probably, along with Oxford Comma the most accessible tracks on the album. So they're trying to gain that interest and fan base with those songs. The rest of the album has plenty more beauties on for example Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa, Walcott, Bryn and Campus.

bet we never hear of them after this album

i went on their myspace to check if they were good when joel first told me about them and really really was not convinced, sounded proper average.

however, i am going to see them tonight in london as i am down here they are playing at push astoria 2 tonight so i will see what they are like live!

to be honest it doesnt really sound like my thing sounds a bit... tame? not in your face enough.

They are wonderful. Blew me away when i saw them supporting the equally mindblowing, The Shins.

All good.
