They get compared to Smashing Pumpkins, but I find their music to be infinitely more enjoyable than any Corgan tripe. I am digging the fuck out of this band, actually.

I heard their song "well thought out twinkles" on a pontiac commercial, and was all 'gotta have that song tbh'

You should hear their song 'Lazy Eye'. It makes me say "I love this song irl"

Lazy Eye is a really good song. Too bad their whole album (including that song) is like if Sonic Youth and The Smashing Pumpkins had a baby. I can't get over that whenever I hear anything from it.

Fucking cheater.

This band is pretty cool though. I haven't liked anything "rock" in a long time, but they do it right. Definitely a "pumpkins" similarity, but that's a compliment. They sound like the Pumpkins when they were great.

I got a copy of an Adam Freeland CD to review ages ago and there was a version of Lazy Eye on it, loved it.

it's so odd to hear people talk about them. My ex is buddies with them, was when they were first starting to build an audience.

odd in a good way, though. They're great!

Yeah, but why is that a bad thing? SP and SY having a baby sounds like the greatest thing ever!

edit: BTW I also love this band.

yeah...theyre pretty good. their music is something different and new, but at the same time it is familiar. i really like "lazy eye" and "kissing families"...two great songs.

I think my fav off Carnavas was Future Foe Scenarios. Anyway, I am finally getting around to giving the new album a good listen. Thoughts? I am really digging it, it's darker and louder. A logical next step.

I don't think there is anything different or new about them.

But I have to admit...I do listen to the album a good amount now and like it a lot.
