Actually Derek this band is pretty big. They're enjoyed by everyone into j-indie at all (which is pretty much no one on this board besides me an you, which I always found strange, since the language barrier doesn't stop people from digging Polysics or Boredoms or Acid Mothers or the non-English Melt Banana songs, etc... in other words, what makes certain J bands crossover-worthy but a lot of the more awesome ones -- Number Girl + their extended family, Metronome, Coaltar, Sparta fuckin' Locals -- are ignored?). I've been into 'em for about 10 years now, and am impressed by how much they change styles, while always having shades of 'gaze.
I go through phases where I'm just flat-out obsessed with j-indie stuff. Then I kinda just don't pay attention for a while. The main problem is that, aside from random blogs, it's hard to find information out about this stuff. Before Soulseek, finding any Coaltar before Breakstroke was downright impossible.
