I hadn't heard of them, so as I always do when I hear of a band that I don't know about, I go to Amazon and check it out:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BB18EK/104-1683888-5067108?v=glance&n=5174
some reviews:
London's purveyors of lush melodies and gorgeous, hazy pop are back with twelve new tracks of dreamy folk, shimmering psych guitars, and string arrangements.
what you get is more of that clientele sound -- nostalgic and melancholic, autumnal, romantic, painterly -- but improved by less reverb and cleaner, sharper production values, tasteful application of strings, and more melodic and tempo variation. kind of a poppier and less sexy tindersticks, or like being slightly depressed on a rainy day in your third year of college, flipping through a monograph of magritte, smoking your last cigarette, thinking about the night before...
Love this CD, sounds like a sleepy beetles. I didn't know what to expect for sure when I bought it, but am very glad I did. If you like low-key very melodic pop, you'll love this. It will lull you into a state of bliss.
The instrumentation is wonderfully retro and pleasant to listen to. It's comforting hearing new music that sounds like it could've come out in the 60's

I strongly agree with those reviews. Slightly depressed on a rainy day thinking about the night before... definitely.
