KIM's solo career has always been a v functional side product to The Presets.
and Van She only ever had one good song and were tedious as heck live anyway, but Nick's Daft Punk cover, back when VS were a thing, was both excellent and a harbinger of nothing.

Van She put out a couple of decent enough pop singles 2 years ago. I haven't kept up with midnight juggernauts since, like, "road to recovery"
Still like most of the biggest Presets hits but find the dude's voice fairly grating. Cut Copy are one of my favourite local groups ever.
Also, lol at Muscles posting upthread! Whatever happened to that guy.

and the album's called hi-viz! it seems they're going hard at the mainstream, which is just fine if the rest of the album is anything like these
