My love for them has bordered in to fangirl territory. Seriously brilliant and absolutely underrated band, considering they've whipped out four albums already.
@amortentia You are absolutely right, they never get the air time or general publicity they deserve... But I guess that partly comes down to being signed to very small independent record labels like Arts & Crafts. They just don't have the same distribution or publicity powers that companies like EMI and the such do. It is a great shame, originality like this really does deserve a bigger fan base than it gets.
@LadyGulag If I had to recommend one album, it would probably be their self-titled album which is their 3rd LP. I think it best represents their earlier sound through songs like Demon Host, Trouble Comes Knocking, No Bold Villain. But it also introduces what they do in Creep on Creepin' On through songs like Magic Arrow, and Until the Night is Over. It's just the best representation of their music as a whole as they can have a pretty varied sound. It's a fantastic album on its own too!
