This band is an absolutely wonderful band whose eccentric voice lead and diversified sounds appeals to the soul in constant need of true Indie Gratification...
The first time that I heard this band to be honest was when they had practically gone mainstream. Not one to be this unaware of rising Indie performers, yet alone wonderful ones like these, I was surprised that I was not quick on the beat. Their song "Tongue Tied' is truly amazing and was of course a big hit, not only among hipsters and hipster wannabes but it was actually the #1 position on Billboard Alternative Songs Chart.
Yet my favourite song was 'Get giddy'. The introductory lyrics,' oh, let's be friends and we'll hold hands as trains go passin' by' just caught my attention and carried me to that place that only hair raising songs can. The distinguishable voice and the wonderful purist vibe just really opened up my perspective to this band. Their lyrics are appealing to the masses; the heartbroken, the heart breakers, the loners, the outcasts and every classification we propose ourselves to be.
The video posted is called 'Colours' and can have a variety of meanings. However to me, I see an individual on a soul searching journey and ultimately, seeing the world in this burst of colours. This band is making it huge followed by many others such as Foster the People, Phoenix, Young the Giant, Two Door cinema Club, and my personal all time favourite, Cage the Elephant.
