Polyphonic Spree, a 20+ piece band from Austin Texas who had previously
passed me by (I don't get out enough...)

Dunno about anyone else, but I've mentioned the Polyphonic Spree a few
times here: they're amazing live, but their debut album is slightly
disappointing in comparison. It doesn't capture the band's wilder aspects,
adn it basically sounds like the Flaming Lips with a lower recording budget.
