“They might just have made themselves masters of their own genre” (NME)
“Addictive debut, perfect for any mood, any moment, anywhere” (BBC)
“Uniek, een indiepopplaat als een Rorschachtest” (Focus Knack)

Put ‘An Awesome Wave’ by ∆ (alt-J) in your player and trigonometry suddenly becomes a whole lot sexier. Eat that, Mister Devlieghere from a school that shall remain unnamed! Sorry, that was irrelevant but it had to be said (mathematical traumas can be persistent).

Their eclectic debut bounces all over the place, pieces of TV on the Radio, Yeasayer, Four Tet, Burial and Foals mingle with Fleet Foxian, helium-drenched harmonies. Yet we still can't put our finger on their style, and apparently the critics can't either as it's raining new style names for this extremely infectious musical hotchpotch - names like ‘folkstep’, ‘jumpfolk’, ‘tripfolk’ or ‘folktronica’. The latter captures it best according to the four from Cambridge.

Frontman Joe Newman gains inspiration for the often cryptic lyrics from films (‘Matilda’ refers to Luc Besson’s Léon), literature (Hubert Selby Jr.'s Last Exit To Brooklyn in ‘Fitzpleasure’) and traumatic experiences (‘Ms’ deals with love's ups and downs), with tragedy being the constant factor. Yet the songs don't sound like the soundtrack to an existential crisis, it all stays poppy… Unique, uplifting indie-pop with a screw loose.

“Ijle stemmen en ondeugend gitaarspel, een nieuwe favoriet” and“een sterk staaltje musiceren” wrote Indiestyle after their concert in Botanique (support-act to Big Deal on 1 March ’12) so that's looking good live!
