Really good new boy/girl duo on Merge Records. Jenn does most of the singing and plays guitar. Andy plays the drums and keyboards, at the same time. Their recordings are excellent...I'll wait til they come to Dublin in November before passing judgement on their unique live show.

They sound a bit like the noises Chan Marshall would make while having a torrid affair with Ira Kaplan. Apparently, they made a biker cry at SXSW.

"If Children" is the name of the album. If you have some disposable income, go and buy it. It's very, very good and they deserve to be big. I'll let you have the opening track as a taster.
