Old Gold Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 This band have an un-google-able first album/name combination (despite rating considerably high in the search listing), a shit band name, retro stylings, and a wikipedia article humorously suggesting that their frontman is a member of a Christian-based cult.On principle I hate their marketing ploy, but they do the Elvis Costello meets fuzz-pop thing really well. I recommend a sly download. They're asking for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I have the album, but I have yet to make my mind up on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 They are also all naturists. I saw it in one of the tabloids months ago. There's loads of pictures of them all naked on the intornetz. (Also in the tabloids but they put fuzzy boxes over their fuzzy boxes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam 45 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Barn Owl played with them in Glasgow, i was pretty disappointed with them. Considering the hype, i did expect a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF Scott Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I like their name! Also really like the album (though it is pretty overhyped but that's not their fault). And the songwriter in the band WAS a member of a cult! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The band I'm talking about are a girl band, like Girls Aloud or some shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scootray Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 You sure you didn;t just search for Girls on google images with safesearch turned off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Strong Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 the album is ok. the last half of helhole ratrace is still probably my favourite piece though. i wish everything else sounded that epic. apparently the guy was in the children of god cult? that ain't so epic.

RF Scott Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 What a shite titleI kinda like what they've done with it - if you have a s/t debut then people will end up referring to it as "the (band name) album" anyway.Another good thing about this band - the album artwork features photographs of hot girls. Which is a lot better than bearded indie rock types as per usual... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waltz Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 does it have the previously mentioned hot girls?Yeah, but there's also a man using another man's Johnson as a microphone. So if you can handle a bit of that, it's buried on pitchfork somewhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfer_Rosa Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I dismissed them initially as just another No Age-a-like on pitchfork. Might check them out a bit further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some aesthetics (self-recording, two piece, etc...), but certainly not musically!Yeah, I think it was more because there's been a whole raft of "fuzzy, noisy duos" recently, so I think I'd just (wrongly) lumped them in the same lot.

I can't get into them on record, but they might be one of those bands that I need to listen a few times before they click with me.As a side-note, I loved being recommended both GIRLS and Women by last.fm, it was as if the internet was telling me I needed a girlfriend, somehow. Yes, I'm a big geek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only times I've heard them was a live video and of course, that music video. Yep, i've got such cool stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
