It has been a while since a band with the deep down groove took so long to shine it's light. At once it is bright,encompassing, intense y wonderful. Since this isn't a live CD I am unable to speak at how fulfilling it is to see their dual-personality. The shimmer doesn't wear as it is put on with a thick coat that will withstand embodiment. A lovely work that will stay near and long for you to feel it.
Saw these guys last night at The Nomad Pub, and they put on an absolutely great show. It sounds much less psychedelic synth-pop and more edgy rock...if that makes sense. In any event, this is a great album.
Not to quibble with the eMusic minds but I'm thinking "Psychedelic" was a mis-label. This is more in the synth-guitar zone of which MGMT are the current reference point. But try "Get Over It" and you won't miss the nonexistent freakout guitar solos.
I saw these guys live at SXSW and they were really mesmerizing. So many interesting instruments and good sounds. Its a bit of an unfortunate name trying to find them, but I enjoy it. The organ and synth sounds make the music kind of haunting, which I like. Many of the songs could easily be remixed into catchy dance beats if desired. Poppy sounding without the droning thumping bass.
