Stephen got this album a few weeks back and I have slowly grown to love it. I'm terrible at describing things, but I would say it's kinda indie with some african/caribbean drum beat haha
Not as weird as they sound.
Anyway, I am so happy as they were just announced to play the Icelandic winter music festival Iceland Airwaves!!!! wooooooooo
Lets hope I can get a ticket for that day

I cannot begin to describe my love for this band. First heard CCKK late 2007 and loved it.
My favourite album of the year so far  |

It's one of those bands that I can't decide if I'm gonna love or hate lol
the single's great, but it sounds like something that would need a while to grow on me, if that makes any sense? _________________

| It took me a couple of listens too. I liked the single straight off, but the album took a bit more. |

Reviving an old thread.
Absolutely love this band! Saw them at Leeds and they were fantastic! Very energetic and just generally happy. A really great summery band.
