New band from London. Great debut album, and now their 1st song "Intro" off the album is starring in an AT&T commercial with Apollo Ohno during the Olympics. All good - gotta start somewhere because shitty ass radio sure isn't going to play them.

    Yes, got the album, listened to it a few times. I think it's pretty good. I saw the comercial and was trying to figure out what album I have that the song was from.

    Thanks for clearing that up for me.

    been enjoying this album for a while. nice use of minimalism, and their voices contrast pretty perfectly

    They were on a show here in Ireland (Other Voices, you can watch it here: http://www.rte.ie/player/#v=1066239, about 25 minutes in)

    I find their sound very strange, and there's something awkward about them. Dunno if I like it or not yet :roll:
