be overcome, in music, is a matter of every day. Riff more effective, more advanced technologies, changing styles and mixing continuously, are the best weapons to make a disc just released a piece of the era.
better not to talk about The Strokes and Franz Ferdinand, probably the most widely followed index innovators of the decade, that just after releasing their debut album went from "interesting novelty" to "classic that inspired the younger generation."
What happens though, when the new talents take discography of The Smiths, mix it with the restless nights of The Cure and manipulate the geometry of Joy Division?
probably been listening to "The Drums", the debut, so far without result, four boys back of Brooklyn, who invented anything in his path back into history. Their group, and their debut album, they were created substantially exceeded, and surf the routes well known to fans of Happy Mondays, Stone Roses and the like. Much more than a step back in time, this is real plagiarism that does not fear the future, because it ignores a priori.
really impossible not to recognize the hard almost all the available influences, this is a compendium of pop-rock that sings to all 80, but not without some mention in the feature Vampire Weekend and more alternative power-surfing.

The fact that succeed to play songs with a soul, without moving an inch this traditionalist musical taste, is their present and their future one of the most interesting British indie scene of agitation unknowns.
