The Camera Obscura album actually sounds pretty good. I like the new Pipas album as well. Blummin' fathands is to blame.

I'd be tempted to go with Test Icicles just cos of that good Alan Braxe remix (altho an instrumental version would be better - that guy's shouting gets v annoying v quickly).

Hhaha make the Test Icicles good by EXCISING all of their actual contributions to the song! Agreed 100% w/r/t the guy's shouting...

I like the shouting, for some reason it sounds kind of pointless and futile and makes the remix sound sadder than it otherwise would.
