We said that they were prog. They were atrocious.

You say "Prog" like there's something wrong with that.

yeah, we saw their "secret" warmup gig a couple of weeks ago. all gigs should start with two drummers wearing bear masks pounding away, they really should.

indeed, the drumming was fantastic.

New record is very nice. They've transformed into an indie rock band, and a good one at that. The Cornelius comparison is pretty close

Manitoba is Dan Snaith.
Loved "give'r", and the remix on Four Tet "Paws" , but haven't heard the new one yet.
There's a Manitoba remix of Mr. Scruff's track "Sweetsmoke" coming out on Ninja Tune sometime soon.

Saw Capitol K a few months back at the Arse Cafe

I'm so hoping that's not a typo.
Where is the Arse Cafe and have Elbow ever played there?

?? you're presumably not talking about the new manitoba album?

btw apparently the batteries had died in one drummer's headphones last night, which is why the drumming was out of sync to start with.

(The old album is amazing).

The new one is like Glifted and MBV.
