Born ruffians (bass, pop, album, members, cover)

From Popmatters.com:
"...If you took Vampire Weekend’s melodic sensibility (the clean, simple melody and bass lines), threw in a serving of Animal Collective’s late-period experimental pop joy, and laid something like Alec Ounsworth’s pointed voice over the top, you might end up approaching something like Born Ruffians’ sound...."

What do we think of them?

I already completely overlooked this release. I think I'll give the album a go after all. Have you heard the whole thing, btw? If so any initial feedback?

Great band!

I'm going to see them at Picnic as well. I've heard of all of the bands playing except for Roulette.

Has anyone heard of them?

I am growing a bit addicted to this band right now. They're pretty fun.
