Any fans of this band formed by ex-Fall Martin Bramah?

I keep meaning to check them out but never get round to it. Una Baines was in the band as well, wasn't she?

What should I listen to?

Yes. So far I've only heard the comp 'A Darker Bloom', which excellent. The songs are really poppy with loads of melodic organ on them. I particularly liked a song called 'The Flood' which was on their first single, and got it off another comp of UK DIY bands called 'Perfect Unpop- Peel Show Hits'.

Ah yeah, I remember reading about their debut double A-side (i think Disney Boys was the other tracl) in the Rough Trade book that Rob Young wrote. I'll give A Darker Bloom a listen then, thanks.
