I fell in love with their sound immediately upon hearing their debut EP. It was cacophonous, amorous, and sheer bliss. They had pop sensibilities intertwined with Sonic Youth-esque wall of noise, and a signer not afraid to hide his thick accent. I haven't been as enamored with their more recent albums, though they are getting the attention they have rightly earned. These early tracks with their long titles akin to post rock of the early 2000's make for a solid mix tape showing the roots of this excellent rock band.
