their self titled album is by far my favourite album released by any band in years. its fun and really hard to describe. i've heard it described as everything from pop-rock to post punk. my only complaint is that it is too short.

have a listen, you will like it.

eta: my favourite tracks are "come on home" and "the dark of the matine"

I tried, I really did - but I could only get to like Take Me Out. Which makes me want worse than ever to learn the guitar.

:music:So find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and
files
You must follow, leave this academic factory
You will find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
It's better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine
Yes it's mine:music:

Best song on the album.

i think my least favourite is actually "this fire" but i still rock out to it.
