Ah... I sort of feel the same way. There's quite a few tracks that I like, but some are really dull. It just feels like they're not reaching their full potential. If they dropped a lot of the wacky aspects (like on the first track) and went for a slightly more conventional Fair To Midland-esque sound I think I'd like it a lot more. I absolutely love the track that I submitted for the comp, that's them doing it right.

I agree that is a great track. have you heard the Australian band Cog by any chance? They are sorta similar. Check them out on youtube and if u like i will sort out a link.

I haven't listened to them, but I know Shiseido Red (where has she been?) digs them.
