Yes!  I saw these guys recently in Liverpool, I mistook them for The 
Mellowmen (a bunch of Scandinavian looking guys playing onstage at the 
time the IPO programme said the Mellowmen were playing). Anyway, I managed 
to see the real Mellowmen later on the same day - best gig I've seen in 
years, by the way - but Deleted Waveform Gatherings were not bad either. I 
downloaded the album a few days ago from eMusic, and the tracks I've 
listened to so far sound very good - kinda like a psychedelic Shazam 
maybe?

Did anyone on the list catch any footage from the Glastonbury festival 
last weekend?  I lot of it was available for streaming from the BBC 
website.  I caught the Stooges and Hold Steady, both good.

13. Deleted Waveform Gatherings

Another review of a new band that people will ignore before 
complaining that no one ever talks about new bands in between endless 
McCartney-related posts.  Particularly note the last sentence.

One might expect a Stereolab ripoff from a band name like Deleted 
Waveform Gatherings, but in fact, COMPLICATED VIEW is a rather awesome 
blend of pure 1970s AM radio pop (opening track "Morgue Itch" has a 
loping, bass-powered groove pitched exactly halfway between Wings' 
"Helen Wheels" and Tommy James' "Draggin' the Line"), trippy neo-psych 
alt-rock a la Beck and, yeah, a little Stereolab as well in the 
vintage synth burbles that decorate the edges of these solidly 
constructed pop songs.

Singer-songwriter Oyvind Holm has his influences on display a bit 
(Marc Bolan deserves some credit for Holm's deliciously whiny vocal 
style), but songs like the propulsive title track and the throbbing, 
tightly-wound freakbeat of "Emily Barratt's Dead" are so instantly 
likable that it seems churlish to list the obvious touchstones. (But 
if you must: Green Pajamas, Robyn Hitchcock, Television 
Personalities.) Fans of Cotton Mather's KON-TIKI who found Robert 
Harrison's new Future Clouds and Radar project too weird and sprawling 
for their tastes will be all over this.
