It's weird that this band blew up, but honestly it's probably the highly meme-able costumes. Initially I pooh-poohed them over someone being blown away by the looper trickery of a live performance. But when you sit down and listen to the actual music, it actually is a pretty cool thing, weird microtonal riffs that combine more eastern-style scales with western jazz and rock style rhythmic patterns. Which makes me sound kind of snobby, and I am probably a bit out over my skis here, but still. Good listening.

Four Stars.
