Holy Fuck.
Jesus.
It's the sound of Sigur Rós making love to The Who--while orbiting the sun in an air-conditioned Great Glass Elevator, high on joy juice and surrounded by gravity-free floating gerbera blossoms.
Just listen: Lovely Allen (mp3 here, video below)
MUST be played at top volume until it's shaking your speakers (or vibrating your eardrums if you're wearing headphones) to fully appreciate the beautiful madness of what they're doing.
Whaddaya think?

Four skinnyboy musos bent over their instruments and nodding wildly?
Oh yea.
Considering the sound card's fucked in my laptop and I don't get the full surrroundsoundscape I'd like, it sounds pretty fucking good.
Cheers, Syl!

Nikki: According to their site, NME awarded them #3 of the top 5 bands at Glastonbury last year. Supposedly they're unbelievable live. I think they''re touring in your neck of the woods, so maybe you can go and check them out!
Their site also has a quote from Thom Yorke and another Radiohead member saying they love them. And as we all know that Thom has impeccable taste.
Sorry to hear about your sound card. May the computer fairies smile on you and come fix it in the middle of the night.

They're opening for M.I.A. here next month. Now I must go.

I think I've missed them already in my part of the world. Will you tell me how they were?
MIA is cool, too. Should be a great all-around show; though I do have trouble envisioning the two of them as an integrated set.

if any of these fellows can help me solve that Beatles/Bridge problem, I will love them as well.
