This cool, poppy group hails from Austin, Texas. While their popularity has mostly been spreading by word-of-mouth, they've been praised by Pitchfork and by Spin. I really dig their peppy rhythm guitar, and their smooth, mellow vocals. Their first full-length album, Voxtrot, is due for release on the 22nd.
The band has released a number of EP's and singles in the U.S. and Europe. Lead singer Ramesh Srivastava keeps a pretty sweet website, I recommend it if you'd like to find out more. Also, a good friend of the band has recorded a mini-series on the making of their album; you can find out more through their site.
I'll be honest, guys, I am really excited about this upcoming record, and I really think this group is going places. Listen to them yourself, and see what you think of them.
