Anyone else give it a listen yet? It's very, very good and streaming over on their web site here

Thanks for the heads up... really dig their sound although I've always felt most of their tunes ramble on for a minute or so longer than they should. Enjoying what I've heard so far.

Given this a couple of listens and am a little disappointed with it thus far.

Drunk Girls appears to have been chosen as a single cos it's the only thing less than a radio-unfriendly 10mins long!!! (And it sounds like Blur's Park Life).

Seems like they've taken their foot off the pedal a touch with everything a little slower-paced than previous offerings. Not saying that's a bad thing, it just all seems a little restrained.

Favourite moments 'Pow Pow' then 'Home'.

EDIT: And they sound sooooo like the Talking Heads on this one. Which is no bad thing.

Absolutely lovin' 'Dance Yrself Clean' and 'One Touch'.

'Pow Pow' is great an all, sounds just like Liquid Liquid's 'Bellhead'.

Quite enjoying the fact that most of the tracks are over six minutes long as well.

The only one i'm not so sure about is 'I Can Change'....it's a bit too 'La Roux' for my liking.

I have it too. It's brilliant, with a strong Bowie influence. If anybody wants a copy, just PM me!

Bloody hell - I think "Yeah Yeah Yeah" should have gone on longer... Also love "Your City's A Sucker"! :)
