I like the Unicorns quite a lot and I own Who Will Cut Our Hair... I should probably listen to it some more. I like 'Jellycones' and 'Child Star'.

I love the Unicorns with all of my heart.

Oh, and Islands are awesome btw.

think this needs a bump. their only full album is quite amazing imo. its definetly one of my favorites all-time. they take a couple listens to swallow, but once you get past that you realize how frickin great they are.

I think the Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone? was absolutely brilliant. Fantastic pop music that doesn't adhere to the typical verse/chorus/verse structure. Each song keeps changing, moving from hook to hook. A really tremendous and inventive album.

Return To The Sea, under the Islands moniker, is nearly as strong and their recent Arm's Way is only a bit below that level, but a lot more emotionally resonant.

I absolutely love them, regardless of their name.

i actually had return to the sea when it first came out and didnt listen to the unicorns till about 6 months ago. islands arent on the same lvl imo.

I prefer Les OS, but jellybones is one of their better ones from who will cut our hair when we're gone.

My favourite track from Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone? is "Tuff Luff." The penny whistle parade sound is bizarrely great. The idea of it sounds overly cutesy, but the execution of it is quite great, in my opinion.
