These guys are giving me that same warm feeling I got when I began listening to Broken Social Scene in 2003 and Arcade Fire in 2004. My God, this is musical goodness that is full of joy, soul, and beauty. Stuff like "Over and Over Again (Lost and Found)" makes my heart swell and makes me want to sing and dance and smile and laugh and cry all at the same time. This is how music should be. Anyone else listened to the self-titled debut yet?

Good shit.

"Over and Over Again (Lost and Found)" and "The Skin Of My Yellow Country Teeth" are fucking destroying me right now. Great album. :)

I just got a hold of this 2 nights ago. Unbelievable---and you said it just right. Same vibe as listening to Arcade fire for the first time and BSS. But also one more band--Radiohead. This is like listening to the Bends for the first time.


I love it.
 
You're really taken in by all these hype bands, Alucard. I mean, no offense or anything, but anytime Pitchfork gives one of these bands a 9.5, you end up making a thread a day later.

They're okay. Actually, I don't like them. But they're not a warm, fuzzy feeling band.

Oh well, looks like the mobilized effort for another Arcade Fire is well underhand. I'll be missing this boat as well.

Star Power said it better.

Meh, I've disliked plenty of bands/albums that Pitchfork has praised. (Fiery Furnaces, Six Organs of Admittance...) The site just happens to throw a gem or two my way sometimes, this being one of them. :) I like the sound, I like the music.

I got the album last night. I haven't listened fully yet though. From hearing clips, it seems kind of weird...
