I'm just reading this press release while I try to get some sort of handle on just what's going on with this, having never heard the band before, and while it's not a huge amount of help to me I've become quite transfixed by the line 'Though he might look like a “tough guy”, Andrew Caddick is really a sensitive boy'. Sadly it seems to be referring to the main man of the band though, and not the ex-England cricketer. OK we're a couple of songs in now and it's starting to feel fair for me to get myself in with the genre-coining pricks by offering 'chillgaze' to the world.. Although it wouldn't surprise me if someone else has got there already. It's totally got that 'weird combination of pop and experimental, ambitious and lo-fi, psychedelic and grainy' thing going on and I reckon it's doing it about as well as anything else I've heard to date. I quite often find that decent songs are the missing link with these things but that's certainly not the case here. Actually now I'm sort of getting a homebrew Deerhunter-y sort of a feel for it now that I think about it. And now the song that's on sounds like Hype Williams. I don't even know what this sounds like but it's good.
