The couple of songs I've heard I like, good videos too. They remind me of a more organic MGMT

I love them

Their vids are beautiful too. Nick Littlemoore's other group 'Pnau' are pretty good too if you're into dance/electronic music.

I love them. Although in some of their tracks they do remind me of MGMT, such as Walking On A Dream, I love them all the same though

My current big guilty pleasure. Got the album in December and have played it to death ever since. We Are the People and Half Mast are superb pop songs.

I really love them. I got the album from iTunes last november. It's a great listen. I have to thank two DS forum members for putting me up on them. Twassington who suggested them to me and more importantly Chickens Hit who posted the song Walking On A Dream in the first place.

It was on itunes around November time, but seemingly they've taken it off. Probably to launch it big after Walking On A Dream has been playlisted on Radio1 and the like.

I thought it was MGMT, a blatant rip off imho.

I've only heard the current single (played by Sarah Kennedy on Radio 2 ) but I liked it.

Not bad. I like PNAU too. They do seem to be copying Fischerspooner with the whole outlandishly glamourous image thing though.

Great performances on Later this week. I imagine it wasn't cheap to stage them!

Surprised We are the people was not as huge as it should have been.

Love the track they did with Usher on the Looking 4 myself album
