    One of my favourite bands currently in the London/UK scene
    Just some notes: Many of their lyrics are non snesical because they start from vocal lines and harmonies with just syllable gibberish and then they try to ft it to words later.
    More importantly, they do all this live to an extremely high standard. Catch them on the road!!!!!

      That’s a cool trivia. I coulda sworn shepherd’s carol and Sha were written with the words from the ground up, since they seem like more concrete fleshed out stories. Guess I was wrong.
