Anyone? I love them, and I was actually surprised to see we've never had a thread for them before. They have a new album coming out in April, and I'm looking forward to hearing it. There's a live performance of one of the new songs floating around, and it sounds pretty good to me:

Never heard of them Chrissie, however they've just been announced as headliners at Green Man Festival this year and I think I'd better have a little look at them before August.

I adore them, first saw them in 2007 at Latitude, was a great lineup line up, EITS, Jarvis Cocker, Soulsavers, The National, Arcade fire, Midlake, Joan as a Policewoman, Clap your Hands Say Yeah, Magic Numbers
I can't wait for the new album in April either, they've got some dates over in the UK in May. Chrissie, maybe you can just stay a bit longer after the MEN gig

Dayummm, that was a great lineup, LongLegs! Wish I'd been at that fest for sure! And if I could stay long enough to see Explosions in the Sky over there, I surely would! My kid knows how to use the microwave now, she'd be fine...
Glad someone else likes them, they really are a unique and talented bunch. I actually was reminded of them for a moment or two on TSSK - during Friend of Ours, I think the music is a bit reminiscent of the EITS sound in places. Or I may have just imagined it...
