I don't think anyone has really mentioned them on here besides Independent Playground....
Their album A Brief of History of Love is one of my favorites of the last five years. On first listen I was really only interested in the singles....but after seeing them at Outland (which, surprisingly was really fucking loud, gorgeous and simultaneously intimate), I've listened to the album probably for like two months straight. Straight up mix of JAMC, MBV, The Verve, and some earfucking feedback like Deerhunter.....and (ahem) a little of Death Cab.
If you said, without a subject, "This is the Future of Shoegaze," I would assume you meant The Big Pink.
And my heart is lifted a little bit.
