The resulting album is a breathtaking work of pop art that shrugs off the typical boring asides that indie pop has undertaken these days for something much more clever. The band is beginning to create waves in the music community to rave reviews from underground 'zines and is sure to conquer the mainstream next. Indie rock's answer to Keane? I'd like to think so.
