I’m not even sure who I’m introducing here, such is the mystery (or lack of information, whichever sounds coolest) surrounding this band. Even their online PR person couldn’t give me any more than that. I can’t seem to find a Myspace either, bloody heathens.
What we do know:
1) Joe Goddard of Hot Chip remixed their debut tune.
2) That’s it.
I’m sure it’s not Burial though and some information will pop up soon. With regards to the debut song in question, it sounds like Jimmy Somerville has returned to save us all.

I know the feeling exactly. Some bands and more often solo artists are hidden in obscurity. Glad I am not the only one who angsts over it.
Who are they, why do they exist, but I really like the music and I want to talk about it.
Thanks for not making me feel like a pariah with that issue
