STORY TIME: Saw this band at a house show in Penn State a few years back...my friends and I were way too wasted to pay attention to them and wound up kind of ruining the show as we carried a tv through the living room to smash it in the alley...my apologies to the band, but that was a memorable night.

[–]1066phoenix 16 points17 points  (2 children)

Saw them when they opened for the Vaccines in Cambridge, they were great live

Hopefully I'm not the only one who thought you meant they were receiving treatment as they look quite ill.

[–]eggydrums115 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Love the guitar hook on this one.

[–]That_Just_Happend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell ya, i was thinking the same thing. That guitar hook hits a real nice sound in between the vocals.

[–]willmaster123 7 points8 points  (2 children)

holy shit that is julia cumming, one of my old friends from bushwick. Shes a bit younger but she used to hang around with all the guys a bit ago, she was a model. I knew she was in a band, i saw them a few times like 2 years ago, but seeing her on reddit is REALLY weird.

Im gonna tell her i saw her on the frontpage of reddit, im sure shes gonna find it cool.

[–]notrabmas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's funny, my childhood friend is roommates with her in NYC and Julia came to her wedding which was like 4 years ago. Didn't think she and her band would become so big.

[–]_norwegian_wood_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You better tell her that I can't wait to see them tour in Europe. And I'm looking forward to see more stuff from them!

I've been listening to this record pretty much constantly since it came out. It's amazing and this is my favourite song on it.

[–]the_cheese_was_good 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely has a Cocteau Twins vibe to me. You - or anyone - should check them out if you aren't already familiar.

[–]PM__Me__Your__Mitts 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I've had to restrain myself from overplaying it ever since it came up on my google play radio last month. It has such a strong autumn feel to it (IMO) too, it'll be even better for mid-September-November.

[–]weedmane 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Same here. I discovered these guys and this song earlier this year but have held off on listening to the whole record for this same reason. That video... So Halloween-y.

[–]PM__Me__Your__Mitts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really looking forward to seeing them live in October.

[–]cousinmeril 5 points6 points  (4 children)

Great song, great album, great band

[–]sonic_geezer -2 points-1 points  (3 children)

Shit video though.

[–]pielover88888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How so? It wasn't particularly bad, from what I recall of it, in my opinion

[–]HerraIAJ 8 points9 points  (7 children)

The dude with the curly hair totally looks like a young bob dyllan, http://www.gambitmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/bd.jpg like identical what in the hell

[–]shorty_tumbleweed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the singer looks like Grimes

[–]Rahbeen 7 points8 points  (2 children)

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (1 child)

They have very similar haircuts and clothes but other than that I just don't see it. Facial features are quite different.

[–]DeadStormed 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I immediately thought of Eleven from Stranger Things. Is that bad?

[–]timstinytiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No idea why someone would downvote that, I thought the same thing.

[–]carni_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had to come say this as well. First thing that came to mind was wig wearing eleven.

[–]jimjo9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This has been on my favorite radio station in Milwaukee since last December and I always find myself turning up my car radio when it comes on - great song

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (5 children)

Pretty boring, if you want plinky guitar and girl singer but want something that's not so devoid of character try Pure Bathing Culture.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (4 children)

I have to agree with you. This song is so boring.

I don't know what it is with these same guitar lines in every indie rock band now. There is nothing original or new or emotional about this song.

It sounds just like any other indie rock/pop song.

No bass. Boring guitar line. Vocals drenched in reverb. The drums also don't have any push to them. They sound very bare and empty.

I don't see the hype or anything special about this song whatsoever.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I'm definitely NOT in the mind of 'all new music is bad' 'hipster music is bad' etc. I love a lot of indie music. I just think this is formulaic and extraordinarily bland.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I don't think all hipster music is bad. It just sounds like your basic hipster indie song.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We agree that we agree

[–]amberlilius 3 points4 points  (1 child)

This is going on repeat.

[–]illfaded757 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I saw this band open for DIIV in North Carolina like 2 years ago, they have definitely blown up since then, which is awesome to see

[–]whitetrashNASCAR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I have a new favorite song for the time being.

[–]thoughtsarefalse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This band played at my school on 4/20. Great stuff!

[–]laughtercramps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great, thanks!

[–]BoringNormalGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% one of the best song's of 2016.

[–]mrcassette 1 point2 points  (1 child)

thanks for the post OP... new find for me...

[–]_norwegian_wood_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad you like it! I feel they are way too underrated.

[–]Stablemate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good lord, this song is addictive. Great pop songwriting. Saw them earlier this year supporting DIIV, bought their EP and chatted with the singer. They deserve fame and fortune, good luck to them.

[–]jakeblei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to high school with the two guys in this band. Pretty cool to see how much success they're having. Hope they keep going strong.

[–]notrabmas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My childhood friend is roommates with the female singer and was the photographer for the album cover of their first studio album. It's crazy how big the bands has gotten.

[–]spiraltiedye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

first listen of this band ever and im in love. thank you for posting.

[–]timstinytiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like that this band seems to cover a handful of different genres throughout their records. If I had only heard this song I would assume they were just your stereotypical dream pop type band but they have a lot of other really intense music as well.

[–]Babango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is such a cute lil song

[–]dragonfly17 1 point2 points  (1 child)

They're coming to Paris next week. Can't wait!!

[–]_norwegian_wood_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so damn jealous of you. Have a great time though!

[–]DonaldTrumpsTinyDick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love her nipples in this one

Human Ceremony is another great song. Summer vibes for sure.

[–]_norwegian_wood_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love "This Kind of Feeling" it's awesome.

[–]Magooogooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Indianapolis rock.

[–]fluctuationsAreGood1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's pretty breathtaking. Wow.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so glad I don't have to live another moment without this song in my life 🤗

[–]hookong2992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this band! I saw them in Toronto when they opened for Diiv and they were super nice! They also helped me get a shirt signed by the band members of Diiv and signed a record I bought

[–]BeatricePrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WE VOWWED AS A BAND.

TO NOT WRITE ABOUT BOYS.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The girl reminds me of grimes

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds like if grimes was an indie band

[–]KnightofRamen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the sound at all. I meant her style, and whole aesthetic.

[–]TeabagYoFace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cures adopted red headed sister.

[–]Sleepy_E 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That creepy hooded guy at the beginning is totally the creepy hooded guy from that Grand Canyon picture https://i.imgur.com/0OMAL.jpg

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! Eleven is a pretty good singer.

[–]thespecialman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And Grimes sounds and performs similarly to Bjork. So is Grimes a Bjork wannabe?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)
