This Baltimore Post-Wave trio is trying to maintain the buzz they generated with last year's remix of "Little Dreamer" with their debut album from Thrill Jockey. Strong tracks such as "Long Flight" and "Tin Man" help draw the listener in only to be knocked out by the possibly the best 4-song closer ("Swept Inside", "Inch of Dust","Vireo's Eye", "As I Fall") of the year. Catch them live to appreciate their energy.
