My relationship with them consists only of love. The best album of '09, probably. Anyone else?

One of the better things of 2009 so far, for sure.
I missed out on tickets because of my lack of money.
That's the only bad thing about them.

The album is top tingle, sure is a grower though.

They sound like what Interpol would sound like if they grew up listening solely to RnB and had a female singer.
So make of this what you will, so many little shots in the dark, the same records, the same shoes and a smile that almost broke your heart. Yeah, I'm all for local history. Three things I'll remember: her pasta was shit, she left with a CD still playing, and you, you always threw your arms around me in your sleep.

I've heard only that they're pretty good live. We'll see in Prague on the 4th Nov :)

Saw them supportign Flo and the Machine the other week. The biggest cheer of the night was when they announced they were closing their set.

You framed beside my bed
Oh, it's childish and it's silly
But I think it's you in my room
By the bed '
