Better reply to this thread now before khchris shows up and starts fighting someone.
I haven't heard a lot yet, but from what I have listened I don't hear the SY and MBV comparisons... but then SY and MBV (like Mogwai and a few others) are typically the kind of bands to get namechecked in about every other review of whatever non-mainstream random guitar band, especially from the likes of Pitchfork, etc.
I also haven't seen them live, so who knows it's more obvious then.
Anyway, I liked what I heard. They seem to get a lot of buzz at the moment, just like their fellow LA citizens Health. Both bands are touring Europe this month and I'm curious enough to go check them out.
