I saw Office at SXSW this year and liked 'em a lot. I didn't think the record was quite as good as their live show, but I'm very much looking forward to hearing more from them.

Office's Q + A album was in my top 10 of 2006. Their upcoming album will
have re-recorded versions of songs off of their first two albums and some
new songs. Greg's description is in the ballpark (though Masson hates The
Cars' comparison is hard to avoid). They have great stage presence
(including a percussionist/keyboardist who is perpetual energy and a looker
too) and usually keep the Office motif on the stage -- I've seen them play
with typewriters and stuff as stage decor.
I wish I had mustered up the energy to make it out for this gig.

NP: The Pretty Things -- Balboa Island (pretty good for a band that's been
recording since 1963).
