This debut release from the preppy New York foursome is a good example of why publications like the NME and New York Times have been raving about them for a while now.
Named after a film that frontman Ezra Koenig wrote and trailered, they've spent this Summer wowing the NY crowds with their own special brand of afrobeat tinged experimental indie-pop in live performances with the likes of Animal Collective and Ra Ra Riot.
Admittedly at a gnat's whisker over two minutes it's not the longest track around at the moment, but its mix of beguiling drums and strings give it a strangely endearing quality. There's a debut album looming on the horizon and you're going to be hearing a lot more of this lot. This is partly because they're having vast quantities spent on them, and partly because they're actually rather good.
