So I heard them on the radio the other day. Really liked the single "Time to Pretend," and now I heard their new album "Oracular Spectacular" and it's an early nominee for my album of the year. Very original sounding. Check out their myspace, there's a clip from them on Letterman there too: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=3242691
Hmm, they give me a real Modest Mouse vibe from the bits I just listened to. Not really my thing though.
huh...pretty cool find...my wife and i both dig em so far...only heard one song though... she'd listen to them more then i would, and i know a friend of mine who would probably just love them...
Sound kinda '80's to me. But that's ok as I'm an '80's kinda guy. Tho that Letterman clip made them look like they were late from their D&D game to the show. heheh. (And I play the game so don't be bringing the geek hate my way)
The music isn't really my thing, but it's ok I guess. But man, they need to find a barber, a comb, and a shredder to toss those capes into. Oh, and they need to figure out that it isn't really smart to make your myspace almost totally unreadable.
With maybe a hint of Smashing Pumpkins, although maybe that's just 'cause his voice sounds like Billy Corgan to me. But yeah, not really my thing either. Word. It's one thing when it's a 14 y/o girl...but a band trying to get themselves out there oughta at least leave their show schedule legible.
