Wow it seems like I'm reading the 'Unpopular Music Opinions' thread. Interesting.
I actually really like some of their music, particularly If You're Feeling Sinister and their first 3 EPs (Lazy Line Painter jane).
After that.. I dunno. I don't like it enough to nominate them and I was fairly horrified to see them described as 'Twee' in the writeup.
Anyway, Janszoon, I think this this is the first time that I've distinctly disagreed with you on music. Would you mind telling me how B&S represent
everything that can be awful about indie pop? I don't begrudge your opinion - just curious
