Okay....the video below is alittle strange. But there is a second video which unfortunately the band won't let you embed into one's blog. Click on the above link to get it. I like it better. Fantastic track from this Brooklyn New York based band and the second single from their Oracular Spectacular album. Great Downtempo Indiefunk.

Thanks to Koray for making me re-evaluate this band. I really didn't get Time To Pretend, the first single, when it first came out.

I'm not sure how I can describe this UK act other than brilliant. This is the 3rd single released and a lead up to the full length Disastro. Crazy, weird, diabolical. I reviewed the second single awhile back if you want to do a search for that one too.
