Comparative Reality

I really like this band right now, but I'm a bit afraid that I'll turn on them in the near future. I often feel that way, though, so I'll just go with the recommendation: Ume, who apparently everyone else is just discovering, too.

(Ok, yes, that is almost certainly why I have reservations.)

But damned if they don't do a good job of revamping mid-90s thrashing indie rock music. And with a crushworthy, guitar-shredding manic pixie dream girl material lead singer/guitarist, too.

Update:
Now that I've listened to the EP, I have to admit that I really like it. It's really painful to jump on the bandwagon like this, but they've got a really good, polished sound that's almost surprising coming from a three-member band. But the three just work really well together, with lots of loud, somewhat swirly guitars (does it ever hurt to add Shoegaze to Indie Rock! No, it does not), and the lead singer has an appealingly husky, raspy voice that reminds me of...someone. I haven't placed it yet. Not Kim Gordon, although that's an obvious comparison. Ok, maybe a bit like Kim Gordon. But I'm thinking of someone else. I just can't remember who at the moment.
