^I saw them opening for Rilo Kiley last year!

I've been meaning to go pick up their album! Thanks Chanel for reminding me!

 

[i_<3_chanel]

they are a bit gd, no ?

 

[susie_bubble]

Yes....me likey!

Except Repeat to Fade is getting a tad overplayed on BBC 6 (the ONLY station that we listen to at work).

 

[i_<3_chanel]

i've never listened to radio 6 in my life ?!
wht other stuff do they play ?

 

[susie_bubble]

Indie mostly - very decent stuff. If you're gonna listen to radio....6 music is the way to go.

bump!

i just heard these guys via goldfrapp's myspace page....then realised they did that brilliant Bombay remix of Goldfrapp's Satin Chic. They are wonderful! It's folk music for the otherworld. really magical sounds. and like alison,the lead singer also plays a melodica.....a truly special and underrated instrument,imo.

anybody hear the new album yet? replica sun machine....bloody amazing!

^ I love it Scott. Some of it is dreamy and folky, and reminds me of Broadcast's Tender Buttons.. and other stuff is quite Belle & Sebastian and Bowiesque. But all good, if near impossible to get out of your head!
