so i worked at a club the other night doing live sound, and these guysplayed a set. they were pretty good, although i think their album is better than their live show. live they were sorta all over the place, but you could still get the gist of what they're about.
they sound like thom yorke's 'eraser' but they told me that he released that album right while they were in the middle of creating this album, already sounding the way it does. anyway, they're pretty decent, and i might end up trying to record them at some point. you should check 'em out. they're from sf. pretty decent. needs some polishing.
Love your stuff, first found you via Something Awful (lol), and I'm looking forward to purchasing your next album. I am really looking to see what you're going to do with hand percussion and samples too, I've always loved when musicians take advantage of field recording and natural ambience, and it's awesome that you keep trying new stuff.
