Fantastic album. It's a tie with this and Thao Nguyan for the best of the year so far...but then I've only had it for a day.

Has anyone else noted that their much-maligned fourth member is actually... Jarvis Cocker?

It's pretty good. The tracklisting is wrong on my promo copy though.

I've given it a few listens now and it's good like. 'This Modern Leper' and 'Head Rolls Off' are my favourite tracks.

saw them at TITP and they were great.

bought the album a week or so later, and it's really really nice.

'head rolls off' or 'the twist' or 'old old fashioned' are my favourites.

It's a long time since I've been so engaged by an entire album of brilliant lyricism.

It's one of my albums of the year.

Shame they're mince live now that they're a four-piece. I'm ready to be proved wrong on the 18th September at Moshulu though.

The fantastic We Were Promised Jetpacks are providing the support.

They wanted to embrace the sonic magnitude of their bosom buddies, The Twilight Sad. But they're not the same kind of band; they have a different dynamic. Now they just sound too loud, trebly, and overcooked in a live environment.

Which is a shame. They have played brilliant sets as a 3-piece in Snafu, The Lemon Tree, and The Tunnels.

But hey, they are a signed and extremely successful underground indie-pop band who are touring relentlessly, so they know much better than I do.

Is the Moshulu gig likely to sell out, d'you think?
