Comments: From iTunes: "Like a New Romantic version of The Shins... the pomp and swagger of a Suede hit and the self-deprecating wit of a Nick Cave tune. The kind of insta-hit that would have raised the eyebrows of the late, great John Peel. American indie Anglophiles needn't look across the pond for a good soundtrack to the glamorous life."

This is good, fun, catchy stuff that's sure to put a little bounce in your step. Check out the upbeat "Completely Replaceable" if you like The Strokes or Arctic Monkeys. I also liked "Pour it Out" with its long slow strides and classic-rock feel.
