Catching up on my letter writing

There is only one person in your group who can sing, and you are not she.
Sincerely,
A Fan
Dear male singer dude in the xx,
There may not be anyone in your group who can sing, but if there were, it would most assuredly never be you.
Sincerely,
Frank

Date: 2009-12-21 03:31 pm (UTC)The publicity sticker on the cover of my promo copy compares them to, get this, Harry Nillson, Os Mutantes, Silver Apples, Love, Roxy Music, Sonic Youth, 13th Floor Elevators (pretty much all wishful thinking, as far as I can tell, but a pretty neat list) and Animal Collective (which might well be a clue.)
Replayed the '09 Slarrafenland CD yesterday, though, and once again thought it was really beautiful, in some weird convoluted way I can't put my finger on. "Post-Radiohead" might not be right -- more likely they sound closer to some obscure '70s progresssive rock band from, uh, Canterbury or somewhere I've never heard. (They're Danish themselves.)
