Yes! Love their first album, excited that the second one is coming out. Tried to catch them live when they were in the states but nothing lined up close enough to get to. The lead singer has an amazing range/falsetto, and the lyrics are solid!
Their lead singer has a fantastic voice. It can go from sounding like Rivers Cuomo to Jeff Buckley all in the same song. They also do a hell of a cover of Immigrant Song!

Checked them out. I think i'd like them if they weren't so mellow. Out of 6 or 7 videos, only one had energy and a quick enough tempo to really catch my ear.
Thanks for turning me on to these guys, I've listened to that first record for a while now and think it's sick. Second one is growing on me after not necessarily being wowed the first couple of times.
There is an amazing live version of Made By Design on their YouTube channel. Amsterdam, Sorry, Broken Machine, Made By Design, and Particles are probably my favorites off the new album.

Yeah that version of Made by Design is super rad. I think my favorites from the new record are Made by Design, Amsterdam, and Sorry. From the first record Drawing Pins, Trip Switch, and Wake Up Call.
It's interesting that the majority of their music videos are there more melodic and slower stuff when they have a bunch of bangers.
