I'm listening to this right now. This is so
fun! Bouncy and textured, but melancholy underneath. David
Byrne-esque vocals, but nothing at all like Talking Heads -- not
weirdly abrasive and spare like they could be.
Reminds me a bit of The Cure, a softer Violent Femmes, or a fuzzier,
funner New Order if they ditched the cold electronica crap and played
guitars; a bit of Lush in In This Home of Ice, even a hint of Nick Drake in Blue Turning Gray.
But all of that is giving the impression that they're uber-retro, which they aren't. Not really.
I don't know. Fun! And textury! And kind of sad! And stuff! Whee!
Kinda get the feeling I don't want to listen to the lyrics too closely, though. :\ ****
