Why in this world is this so catchy?

WHY? - Mumps, Etc. (2012)

Not as great as Alopecia and a bit less consistent than Eskimo Snow, but it still has some great songs.

You were always able to embed YouTube videos. It's just actual links that you weren't able to post.

I was obsessed with this video when it came out. Did they ever go on to make anything like an EP or album? Any news about them at all?

Excellent album. The follow up may well by my favourite of theirs now, which has more blackened vocals.

I finally saw them live last year though and was massively disappointed.

There's an album called Winter Titty, but it seriously only has three original compositions, the rest being remixes. =\ Other than that, I don't know.

Aw, really? I've never heard anything about their live shows before. Is Neige a terrible live singer, or what?

You'd have to ask anyone who could even hear his vocals. Such a weak live vocal. It was a real shame because his vocals on Percées de Lumière sounded really great. Seems he can growl but not sing.

The drummer was also out of time during Souvenirs, was too loud anyway, and helping to drown out an already weak vocal. I was just very disappointed, and to make things worse they were supporting Katatonia, who were fine but bored me senseless.

That's a damn shame.

Still, I hope it was just a poor venue with terrible sound. I'd probably still jump at the chance to see them live even if they're terrible.

Winding down my long day with this. I should look up their second album, I hear they went in a different direction with their sound.
