Completely disagree - the vocals are actually one of the things that is great about this record. They are recorded really well, the phrasing is interesting and I think the sound of his voice is great. The slight inflections are not at all annoying for me, besides there is no standard American accent. Anyways this record is more like 7 or 8 out of 10.

+ You Me & the Mountain by Maps and Atlases

is the name of a Clipse song, is this a cover or a coincidence??

mediocre five things from a mediocre band

sorry if it's been said a 100 times but please change your name it's especially annoying given that you play guitar based 'indie'

I've ordered the coloured vinyl of this, let's hope it arrives soon!

cause Televise sounded kinda dull that night, the poor sound and low vocals probably didn't help though.

& its atleast as good as the album

the backing band sound a bit mor, like shes havin a jam on later with jools holland.

Boards of Canada??? A great album absent from so many end of year lists.

even if it completely avoids the negatives associated with 'scenes'. Maybe if your from a small town in America it's easier to form a close-nit and supportive scene, partly as a reaction to conservative christian suburbia. I think really good bands tend to come from strong scenes and communities of musicians and thats something Canada and the U.S have over the UK.

My experience of being in a band and going to gigs in London is that people arn't particularly friendly and the scenes that do exist are quite insular and very often fashion and trend conscious as the other posters have said. London being such a huge and dispersed city probably doesn't help either. Also, finding musicians to start bands is a nightmare if your not in any kind of scene... we've spent over a year looking for a drummer- ridiculous.
