Just wanted to point you in the direction of these guys as they're releasing their second album "Blurryface" next month and I really enjoyed their first album "Vessel". I don't know how to describe their music really as it's a real mixed bag of genres.

Listen to the first and second singles from the new album:

Fairly Local: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDI9inno86U

Tear In My Heart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nky4me4NP70

Here's my favourite song from their first album:
Holding On To You: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktBMxkLUIwY

Anyone else into these guys?

I have heard of them yet never listened to them.

I'll listen to some of their stuff this evening and come back with an opinion.

Hopefully you'll enjoy although some tracks are a bit heavy and take a few listens. I just happened to see "Holding On To You" on a music channel as MTV were pushing them as a new artist when they released their first album. From there I checked out a few other songs and ended up buying the album. It's always great when you discover an artist by accident.

I wasn't expecting you to like it tbh. Although I suspect your response is not based on the music. Your constant negativity is just boring.

Bump (sorry ). Any other thoughts/opinions? Not everyone's thing but I was amazed by how much meaning was in "Vessel" amongst the chaos of the different genres. Quite dark with references to suicide/depression but at the same time so uplifting. Can't wait for the new album.

You should be grateful I responded as the thread had tumble weeds blowing thought it! Bumping ones thread is always a sad state of affairs.

I first saw them perform in the BBC 3 studio a year or two ago when Reading/Leeds was on, and thought they were fairy good. They write decent music to be fair. I really like "Holding On To You" and "Ode to Sleep".

What I'm not a huge fan of is the lead singer's voice. They're not my kind of vocals at all.

Yes I see what you mean. I think he's a very talented writer and some of the lyrics are so clever.

False advertising! There seem to be only 2 people in the band, neither of which are pilots.

Yeah I became obsessed with these in 2013 so I'm really looking forward to the new album I think my favourite song is Fake You Out.
