Felt (lyrics, bling, guitar)

Felt is pretty awesome, he writes some very subtle music a la Smog that generally takes a few listens to settle in. His early output has a really hypnotic dual guitar sound that borrows from Television but is really jangly. The guitar is toned down some and more emphasis is given to the vocals on his later records, which is somewhat in their detriment in my opinion. Great lyrics though, it's all infused with a very melancholy air. Great listening.

Lawrence is a total headcase.

He turned down a slot a glastonbury because he didn't want to get any mud on his shoes

I shall endeavour to give it a listen. Whatever you recommend is at the very least interesting to listen to.

The Crumbling Of Antiseptic Beauty is a good place to start.

I'm sure i've seen it around somewhere.
