Darned cockwombles.
I haven't been impressed like this by a nominally 'rock' album for ages. In fact, were I to be in a band, this is the type of music I would want it to make.
Am loving the breadth of influence, the gorgeous swirls of sound, the drums, the resemblances to a 21st century Skidoo ('Gospel COmes to New Guinea'-era). I've seen 4AD bands mentioned as influences too, but I've never liked any of the bands on their roster quite as much as this (with the possible excpetion of the Cocteaus).
To me, THIS is what the post-punk revival should have been like - individual bands pursuing their own furrows. Not so much bloody....angularity.
So, am I missing any other bands like this (my knowledge of rock's outer fringes is lamentably poor these days)?
Many props to whoever mentioned GGD on another thread and made me aware of their existence.
