This album is blowing my mind. I downloaded it for about 2 months or so but it keeps growing and it's among my top 5 releases from last year for sure. The arrangements and the vocal harmonies are impressive. Anyone else here liked this one too?

I saw them supporting TV On The Radio. They are excellent.

Well you guys should try to give it a go. It's definetly a record that needs some listens to sink in, but once it does it's very rewarding. "The Knife" is such an amazing song. Reminds me a lot of the Beach Boys. Probably the best song of 2006.

And I had no idea they supported TV On The Radio. Good to know that.

yeah, I've been meaning to listen to this for a while. I think I did a couple times.

tried to get into the record a number of times to no avail. wasn't very impressed by them opening for TVOTR either, other than their kickass drummer.

i like 2-3 songs quite a bit though

Reminds me of Animal Collective

From the cover I thought it would be more like The Editors than a band that doesn't know how to tune their guitars.

Not a bad album, will give another listen later

I saw them open for Final Fantasy earlier this year and came away a fan. They're coming back to Ottawa on Feb.5th so I can't wait to see them again. I saw Yellow House was on a lot of 'Best of 2006' lists

King, come on then, you're starting to be predictable. Your methods are getting boring.

King · **Posted:** Wed Jan 03, 2007 2:45 am

What about your method of heaping praise upon bands solely because of their placement on Pitchfork's end of year lists?

mowbs · **Posted:** Wed Jan 03, 2007 2:48 am

Where did this end up on their list?
