Definitely 'Y' is probably their best effort. They make really disparate post punk and I'm pretty sure you'll dig it.— February 5, 2010 12:05 p.m.

P.P.P.S. I really wasn't trying to be reductive in the Liars comparsion, its an obvious touchstone and in the space of 200 words its my job to relate the music to the reader in the most economic way, given a wider venue I could go into excruciating detail of why your band is unLiars in a lot of ways but that's entirely not fun to read.— February 5, 2010 1:47 a.m.

Woah you guys actually read this stuff! Anyways thanks for the response, I've since listened to the record again I can I can definitely see what you're getting at; sorry for misrepresenting your intention is print, but hey, rock criticism is sorta built upon misrepresenting people :p. And when I say "standoffish and badass" it's more of a reference to your musical demeanor, which is very, as you say, empowering, it's not something you mess with. I wasn't necessarily referring to your personal behaviors. When I said (Just Nick) it wasn't some subtext to your 'mysteriousness' I was just pulling it off your myspace that reads simply, "Nick." Anyways, keep making great music and I'll keep reviewing it. P.S. You guys are better than Liars anyway. P.P.S. you should really listen to some Pop Group!— February 5, 2010 1:11 a.m.
