Really good, and hasn't faded on me with time like I feared it might. I would go so far as to say that it might be the only major label album I have really enjoyed this year.

I just saw the video for Standing Next to Me on Subterranean this week and immediately fell in love. I knew I had heard them somewhere before and when I was listening and THOUGHT I heard some arctic monkeys in there I knew where I had seen it. I pretty much despise Arctic Monkeys, but this stuff is fantastic. Spot on with the "More Scott Walker than Scott Walker" and 60's futurism. All right up my alley. This album is fucking brilliant.

Fucking commenters around here are a right bunch of comedians. This is good though, eh? Yeah, and the Withered Hand post has gone to shit as well.

It's more than a little camp, in a sixties futuristic sort of way, but I'm loving it. Actually, that reminds me of something else I could post about that easily fits this bill, except for being far, far sillier. I like this.

But I really am intrigued though I don't much like the Arctic Monkeys. Some good tunes but get bored of their albums quickly. I almost bought this album for the cover art alone!

Anyway, it's great and I hope they team up again, with more time on their hands...
