I'm watching the video for Drain Cosmetics. They seem to sort of have a Velvet Underground sensibility with the jangly guitar and the rhythm. Sounds like the vocals are pretty heavily copped from MBV like you said, which is a shame. It sounds like they were mixed by a pop oriented producer, since the vocals and the rhythm completely dominate the song and the more intense movements and lead guitar seem to be sort of low in the mix- taking away from the eargasmic value.
This is all from one song. For all I know, it could be their worst song. I think if they dropped the MBV copped vocals and dropped the music industry related bullshit.
Edit: Holy shit, there are a million remixes of this song. The band's remix makes it sound a lot cooler, all the background stuff is brought to the foreground, making it sound a lot more powerful.
Sorry if I sound snobby or picky, I really just feel that the industry is really killing the music of the present day, with only a few exceptions.
