I loved Yesterday Was Dramatic, it had all the good elements of Post-Rock mixed with IDM, electronica and noise rock... but since then it's been more of a chore to listen to their follow up albums.

just random cuts here and there
but the link i posted really grabbed me.....i found it to be a brilliant blend of fiona apple, sparkelhorse, and bjork
those icelandic artists have a knack for "enchanting".

Iceland in general (And I extend that to Finland, Norway and Sweden) is full of very interesting music.

Scratch that, 3rd times the charm...

The 4-5 songs I heard didn't particularly impress me. It could have just been the song selections, but the melodies weren't that spectacular.

Sounds interesting, however the link you posted won't let me access the file. Anyone else having this problem? Scratch that, 3rd times the charm... |
That's mainly because they're not that good at writing melodies, that's why I love their first album so much, they're good at quirky textured electronic post-rock... not poppy music

one of the most amazing bands on the planet (and FWIW, im not a massive fan, i just listen).
have you seen them live zoesch? that singer is amazing! she is like an angel. all of them are amazing.
i admit, i thought "...today is ok" was there best for a while until i gave the others a better listen. that new one "summer makes good" is amazing! can i say amazing some more? before it was totally about the music (...today is ok is more instrumental), now its totally about the vocals for me on that new one.
...amazing...

I agree with this sentiment. Mum had perhaps the best concert I have ever attended...there was this amazingly ethereal aura around the whole 90 minute set. Tons of diverse instrumentation including EWI, cello and even crackling candy of sorts. Their recordings don't even come close to capturing the essence of their live performance. I was quite disappointed with Summer Make Good, though I owe it another listen or two before I write it off.

I've worked with'em during thei first or second italian tour. I used to be live audio engineer in a club they went. The band was very interesting, mostly atmospheric (hope I got it right). The even gave me they first album on double vinile. Cute packaging. I listened to the other records they made so far but it's not my genre. For sure they are interesting but laptop music is kinda boring in my humble opinion.
Have you ever heard about Lali Puna? They are far more interesting. I think they are with the same record label, Mor Music, a german label. I worked with them in teh same club a couple times and went to see them live few weeks ago. Much more interstign and entertaining.
