Their last single 'Can't Get Off the Ground Today', on their own label May Go Zero, really whets my appetite for their forthcoming fourth album. After their fuzzier leanings of old they've crafted a spacious pop song swoonsome in a strange, hazy way like a small-budget Flaming Lips covering Pink Floyd in the style of Al Green, but fitting on a bill with any alt-country band of your choice, and not sounding like any of these. It also makes me think of Love (the 60s band) or a Polyphonic Spree of only five people. There's a great exuberance to it all.
