New Wave Outpost Forum

Who do these guys sound like? There's some Go-Betweens inflected new wavish thing going on here. I'm not sure I love 'em, but it has the kinda sound that I bet critics will jump on in 2010...

Seeing that there's a free Winter Mixtape here:

The tracks on this actually sound better than any of the individual videos I've seen on YouTube. I like it. Too bad they're playing Mercury Ballroom the same night Joy Formidable are at Terminal 5.

I dig their sound, Blir. I have to say, I really admire your new music savvy. Keep the newness coming!

Hardly "savvy". I happened to be reading a White Lies gig review where the writer was quite taken by the Violens opener. Ooh, and good news that they're at Mercury on Dec 9th rather than Jan 9th. I think I'll go check 'em out.

Nice find, kinda diggin Spectator & Pupil will give the winter mixtape a spin
