No idea. I didn't think many people knew too much about em'. I've only heard a few songs myself.

They remind me a little of Crowded House. Not so much in their sound but in their asthetic. Simple, well played melodies with easy on the ear vocals. Can't make my mind up if I could do a whole album by them.

You've been listening to too much metal man...trying chilling out and let the tunes do the work.

Too much Metal *tut* Metric, Woo hoo!

You might like this one. I'm not much of a fan of them but I love this song.

Maybe I'm O.D.'ing on Nick Cave too much recently, but I swear to God he'd be right at home singing that track.

How did you just do that?

I've only heard Feast of Love, top album. Really great songs, and a lovely desert-y, chilled out vibe to it. Need to check out more!

Hmmm. Still unsure lol. I will get an album and digest it fully.

I have The Black Light from 1998. A Good album. It has at times a mariachi feel to it.

You're so right. This band, this album.... so great. Adidasss is right, they're pretty huge, Hwever, I guess I was just really late on picking up on them. That is, untill I saw them on Austin City Limits. Anyone catch that? Amazing.
