Sounds Like
A heavier version of the Glasgow's great, and underrated, The Bathers, meeting American Music Club with some added guitars, and then deciding it wants to be from Iceland.....slow, subtle, heartfelt and romantic. I'd really love to be The Go-Betweens covering Slint songs.....
Or search for us on itunes....just 79p per song!! You know it makes sense.
Some nice reviews:

"The album ‘this is how we live now’ is very down tempo, call it ‘chilled folk’ if you like.......From the lullaby softness of ‘Broken’ to the piano torch song of ‘Myths’, there’s not much bpm to Fram. Think of Primal Scream or Spiritualized at their most blissed out."
IS THIS MUSIC?

This Is How We Live Now is an album put together by the band out of their own pocket and it has a relaxed, contented feel to it; born perhaps out of a confidence of where they are musically. Most of the tracks are softer, piano-driven with delicate electric guitar and display a comfortable grasp of musicianship and songwriting which many of today’s more successful bands just wouldn’t be able to match. For me, the stand-out track is ‘Action Painting’, which has a stunning musical shift in it mid-way through, where the instrumentalists take over and unleash a spectacular finish to the song. Songs like this suggest Fram are capable of big things - hugeness - but you probably couldn’t tell them that.
Hey thanks very much for finding me. Should hopefully be over in Glasgow for a gig at some point... in my life lol. No immediate plans as of late but if that changes the details'll be up on the page.
How many social workers does it take to change a light bulb?? Just one, but the other ten need to set up a sub-group discussing "Dealing With Darkness". Rawk!!!!
The piano's coming up trumps again on "Broken". It's so well put together too and the use of your voice has improved Scot. I like its pace and smoothness but think I'm with Mark tho in that the intro is a little too long...
