I'm sure there's other peeps up on this band. I avoided them for as long as I could because of their horrible name, but they've put out two albums in the last couple years and they're both pretty great-

Just came across them the other day. The two tracks are cool. The videos suck tho.

Agree on those videos, here's a couple more from the first album that are a little better-




After giving both albums several spins, the first album is great, but the second is a definite step up, especially the sound quality and the song writing. They're on tour in the US right now, definitely on my list to see. Here's a couple of songs off the new one-

I avoided them mostly because I thought they were a metal band... or trip hop. Randomly came across the new album streaming a couple weeks ago and loved it. Will have to check out their first one now.

Saw these guys in Bloomington last night and all I can say is WOW. Just an incredible show, best live show I've been to in a few years probably. Saw Tame Impala last week and UMO was much better live. Ruban Nielson is amazing on guitar. They covered Lucifer Sam as well as a Jay Reatard song and just slayed the entire night.

some chick i'm banging keeps telling me to listen to them. Her brother's in it. I guess they were on Fallon a few weeks back or something. Sounds decent from the tracks in this thread.
