i have one track of theirs (drive me home the lonely nights) on a compilation, the recording ain't amazing but the song is really good.

Wow. These guys are awesome! They've been supporting NIN on their tour here this last 2 weeks, and my friend got to see Serena live 3 times. Said they were awesome.

I am loving this, its like a shoegazery Swervedriver/MBV moosh but with more rock. It really is sexy.

I *still* haven't made up my mind if I like them or not. Thought they were rubbish live, but every time I hear something really lovely in a club, and I think "hang on, do I own this record?" and ask who it is, it turns out to be them.

I like them OK. Have their s/t album. Sure it's derivative and nothing new but whatever.

i only just learned that amelia fletcher was in the band that eventually became swervedriver.

s/t album suffers from frontloading of the two least interesting tracks, by omitting them and starting with un-deux they'd not only have a more concise, structured record, but they'd highlight their strengths.

I mean, it works out perfectly with a side A and a side B, both of (almost exactly) equivalent LP-able length, as a really really sweet album with no weak tracks, if you get rid of those infernal first two, maybe pre-release them as a single and leave them off the album. Really not what this band is good at. Unfortunately, "Drain Cosmetics", a thoroughly average song, is the band's most well-known (ESOJ makes the thoroughly good point on another thread that it's basically an S3 rip-off anyway). My edit would even make conceptual sense, with the (awesome) ambient-ish outro of "Sapphire Eyes High" closing out Side A and the beautifully tuneful, clear opening tones of "Don't Come Down Here" kicking off Side B. Never have I more wanted to go back in time and force a band to release their album properly. This is probably really aspie of me, but hell, it gnaws.

Say! I've given this quite a few spins lately, and it's really very good. Guess it does lay pretty close to My Bloody Valentine, but stands very well on its own feet. Check out "I just want to see your face".

Make sure to check them out live, they put on a great show in DC.
