The drummer is so cute in this video. The cross-legged conducting of 1000 drummers, etc. I love this song.

I would expect nothing less from Ian 'Throb' Cohen.

doesn't the riff also sound a lot like "12:51" by the strokes?

I haven't listened to this record in a while, but it was definitely one of my favorites from last year

i pretty much prefer everything they've done that wasn't on the album to anything on the album

i wonder if they will show any development on future releases, they do tend to write the same song over and over. it's a catchy song mind.

I'd take an album and a couple more EPs of that same song over and over.

I think my favorite is the stuff from the interim between the 1st and 2nd albums. This one's okay, though I believe everyone in the band except the singer is a new hire.

New one is rather good, much better than the last. Probably relative to how much like the field mice they sound, closer to wratten the better.

Been surprised at how well the new record's stood up. I've listened to it a number of times and think it's probably as good as the s/t; but any band that's made the same album 3 times is going to fly under the radar. Love "Simple to Sure" > "Kelly" and "Eurydice" > "Masokissed".
I guess if you're going to ape your entire sound, do it as well as these guys do (see also: Yuck's debut).

Probably reductionist to post this in here, but Peggy Wang from TPOBPAH has a new band called Store Front. They put out their debut EP today and frontwoman Amy Rose Spiegel has a nice voice. Will appeal to fans of Pains and shimmery indie rock songs between 2:30 - 3:00.
