Their latest track, "Freaky Girl", builds upon the winning formula of 80s synth, delicate vocals, strong beats, and rough edges that are teeming with hints of psychedelia. Check out the track below and see how many influences you can hear, it's what I like to call a Bowie-Barrett sandwich on rye. Manages to gain the respect and air time of not only local Manchester airwaves plus BBC radio 2/BBC 6 music even without currently been signed and bridge his sound of LCD Soundsystem and The Cure, mixing ’80s & ’60s songwriting sensibility....(Floating in Space blog 12/04/08)
