the lovely feathers

what is the general opinion of these guys, personally i can't get enough of them but it has been difficult for me to track down their album from the u.k.
for those unfamiliar, here's a bried bio and some mp3's for you to revel in.

"the lovely feathers are a band which toots blossomy, extractive post-punk infused alt-rock.

Rarely do we experience music that portrays the canopy of life with such clarity and tragic heartsmiles. The Lovely Feathers, in all its poppy grandeur, somehow manage to convey feelings we never knew we knew so well.

The Lovely Feathers are five people from Montreal:

Ted Suss, 21 -Drums
Noah Bernamoff, 22-Bass
Mark Kupfert, 22-Vocals, Guitar
Richard Yanofsky,22-Vocals, Guitar
Daniel Suss,22-Keyboards, Vox
They had been friends for a while, but only joined musical forces in late January 2004. The Lovely Feathers quickly developed a rich and original repertoire and spent the summer playing energetic, dancey, captivating shows. During this period, the Feathers won the IROC Montreal indi rock contest, and ambitiously recorded a full-length album - only four months after the band’s conception! The CD was supposed to be a demo, but the power-quintet, in its nascent stages, already had enough good material for a solid LP. They decided to cut 13 tracks instead of 4, and recorded the whole disk in the time it takes most bands to record one song.

Surprising to many, the self-released album sounds great and its refreshing and catchy post-punk alt-infused pop sound has helped it become a Local Montreal favorite, with many folks singing along to most songs at shows.

Due to the strength of their CD and live show, the Lovely Feathers obtained a coveted spot in this years POP Montreal festival and have already shared a bill with the likes of the Fiery Furnaces, Projet Orange, and Golden Dogs. They have received good local press and continue to energetically woo crowds around Montreal. They are already working on new material, and are looking forward to spreading their signature show/sound beyond the confines of their cherished Montreal."
