I have been waiting to see what the audities/.popunderground feedback on this band .I didn't want to start it because I have only heard a couple cuts.But both were inviting and catchy.What really amazes me is how well they have been received[ 9.0 at Popmatters and 8.8 at Pitchfork].Nothing should ever surprise me these days,but the buzz is stronger than I thought.I did see them on a talk show and they were quite good. Energetic,and they pulled off their song nicely.It will be interesting to see how the develop.
They look way too clean.They need to tour a lot,get some grit, then we'll see where they are at.
