They have a blog but I'd rather not show up on their incoming links, despite how early this leaked. last.fm
It's the first great album of 2010. If you're not familiar, they're a electro-folk-pop point between Animal Collective, MGMT, and Passion Pit. There's more joy in this than in All Hour Symbols, from the bildungsroman single Ambling Alp, through the subtle retreat of Madder Red, the contradictory tropical bouncer ONE, to Mondegreen, whose supposed lyrics I can't wait to read. Even the weaker tracks have an emotional kick that disinhibits skipping.
