What other songs should I check out to get a good impression of this band?
Try Apocalypse Dreams.
Thanks, I'm listening to that right now. Good tune. Just found a 32 song mix on youtube.
Spotify, guy.

Saw them in a tiny venue in Buenos Aires. They pack a wallop.

I heard the first EP, thought "what's the big deal?", but ended up quite liking their first album. There's a handful of really great off-kilter psych pop songs on there. The new one, however, does absolutely nothing for me - I really didn't like it at all.

Listen to it 6 or 7 more times and then let me know what you think.
