They're great. It seems they're a bit more "challenging" than most of my friends are willing to take on.

Thanks for saving this thread from languishing in obscurity.

3. I really like that one song...
I forget what it's called but in the video the band is playing in a glass box which seems to be in outer space.

7. Love them.
Love them, love them, love them.

"Mirrored" is a freakin' GIANT artistic leap, both for them and for indie-rock.

8. Cool. I knew the DU music freaks would roll out for this.......
"Mirrored" is great. I like that some folks are turned off by the complexity and healthy use of a vocoder, it keeps the riff-raff away.
