anyone like this band? i've just started listening to em recently and i have to say i'm kinda liking their "lo-fi" done in a glossy hi-fi mannor..

any thoughts??

Yeah man these guys are great. I have been a fan since about may when I heard a few demos posted online.

The only annoying thing is that I have now been prevented seeing them 3 times by bad luck,

Good to see ya, fish!!

Only recently heard them but I like what I heard!

dazedcola 02.21.2011 07:33 PM

I really like them it reminds me of shoegaze from the early 90s (more ride than mbv) but with better songwriters who use distortion as an enhancer instead of just covering up weak parts.I'm excited for this band i hope they get the attention they deserve.

This song should be a #1 !

I saw them live and they didn't blow me away... I'd check out the album but there's too much of a fuss about them

Think their new record is great.... Production is really well done, especially with how the bass sounds.

fine stuff, a bit mediocre at times. I think they will become a nice suportact

batreleaser 02.22.2011 04:05 PM

yeah, i like the album a lot. its easy to listen to, by yourself or sharing some brews with friends before you go to the bar/club/show or whatever.

Meh

I listened to 4 songs and got bored. Some flashes of coolness but overall...I dunno, IMO if there's any kind of music that seemed to have reached its full potential in its golden age, it's shoegaze. It just doesn't seem like anyone can expand upon the original idea. The closest any band has really come is Silversun Pickups, by having a keyboard player. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember any of the original shoegazers dabbling in synths enough to warrant having a full-time keyboardist...

Dr. Eugene Felikson 02.23.2011 11:56 PM

Pretty cool. I can dig it.

deflinus 02.24.2011 12:10 AM

finished listening to their debut. it's alright i guess.
suicide policeman, rose gives a lily and rubber are the only tracks i dig.

they have a cool sound but it just sounds completely immature sometimes.
they'll probably make a REALLY good album if they stay together long enough

Jeremy 02.24.2011 02:13 AM

Yeah, when I listen to their record, I can't help but think this is just a peak of what they can do. They have that "mind blowing second album" aura gazing over them, I think.

PAULYBEE2656 02.24.2011 08:16 AM

fishmonkey..its been a long time....hope you are well!!
yeah yuck..very pleasantly suprised by the album. im liking it a hell of a lot. i had misconcieved preconceptions about it but on first listen i was pretty much hooked.....kinda like sleigh bells as well, didnt expect to like it as much as i do!
