They Came From The Stars I Saw Them have been around for a while but it seems that the world is finally catching up with them.

If Does It Offend You Yeah, CSS and the Klaxons are indie-dance then this band is something better. Indie-funk. They supported Metronomy recently at an XFM Xposure gig snd frankly blew them off the stage.

Mental lyrics, spacey keyboard and computer sounds, twittering, farting sax and clarinet and a rhythm section straight outta George Clinton's Parliament circa 1973.

"The Hot Inc" and "Its Time" are danceable as hell but still ballsy enough to be called "rock". Then there's the daft singalong anthems like "Moon Song" and "Rabbit / Seal / Monkey". "Lionel's Tears" is a tribute to the great Lionel Ritchie, but also so much more lyrically and musically, which includes a great line about James Blunt.

Impossible to categorise but Amazon demands tags so - you might like this if you like any of the following :

MGMT
Seventies funk
Arcade Fire
CSS
I'm from Barcelona

Buy this. You'll love it. It will be your soundtrack to the summer, even if it rains.
