The first single of their second album Our Earthly Pleasures, already a huge hit in the UK. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWwBkA0GqaYIt could easily be at least a left-field hit here, despite the potential to be even more. I always have to laugh when a band like this is considered "underground", when they are actually huge everywhere except the US. Anyway, enjoy. |

Cool song. Too bad "Apply Some Pressure", which was huge, didn't leave a dent anywhere in the US a few years ago. Actually, the chorus reminds me a lot of that song for some reason.

Not bad not bad. I think kind of like Modest Mouse in a way with more rock involved along with an 80s type sounding beat.

I can see the comparison with "Dashboard", maybe. And definitely the new wave/post-punk influence, but that's what they are prized for. I hear a lot of Costello in their production.
