Interestingly they're "a London-based band" but I (grew up in the UK, lived in London for much of my life) had never heard of them either! I suspect they're famous only in certain circles...
@thesunneversets I only discovered them because I have French friends and they are well known over there and fill big venues. They're originally from Kent.
It's funny thing how some bands get feted and others utterly ignored - often without relation to merit.
Anywho glad you enjoyed it - the large part of the album is very worthwhile.
Hi Beck,
The most acclaimed is 'Controlling Crowds I-III' from which this track comes. I think, for once, that's a decent call.
It hangs together as an album - which I find an increasingly rare and worthwhile thing.
Glad you liked it - I have liked all of the tracks you have posted (thus far!).
You must have good taste.

I enjoyed this song quite a bit. I'll have to check out their stuff. Which album would you recommend to start with?
