Any fans of this band formed by ex-Fall Martin Bramah?

I keep meaning to check them out but never get round to it. Una Baines was in the band as well, wasn't she?

Yes. So far I've only heard the comp 'A Darker Bloom', which excellent. The songs are really poppy with loads of melodic organ on them. I particularly liked a song called 'The Flood' which was on their first single, and got it off another comp of UK DIY bands called 'Perfect Unpop- Peel Show Hits'.

Ah yeah, I remember reading about their debut double A-side (i think Disney Boys was the other tracl) in the Rough Trade book that Rob Young wrote. I'll give A Darker Bloom a listen then, thanks.
