I went to SXSW this year and saw their name at some bigger shows and decided to check them out. They were one of the highlights from the festival and definitely stuck out from the 30 something shows that I was able to see during that week. This is a shot I was able to grab during a show of theirs.
The albums best song "Domino" starts out with driving synth chords and flute that gives a happy tone to the song. I wouldn't have thought a flute would be so effective in a song, but they use it wisely and don't go crazy with it. To see the flute live is awesome. Their next best song, "Bullet Train" also features the flute but is carried by Chris Lynch's falsetto vocals and a steady diet of crisp drum play and bouncy bass lines.
I hope to see them the next time they come through Salt Lake.
Their new album "Dunes" came out a couple months ago. Check it out.
