Finally got a chance to sit down and listen to the whole album. Of the four I picked up last week:

Modest Mouse's latest
Mooney Suzuki - Alive & Amplified
The Shins' first album
West Indian Girl's debut

this on is number 2 on my list, second to the Mooney Suzuki CD, followed by The Shins at #3 and Modest Mouse at a very distant #4.

Think Jane's Addiction mixed with a good amount of early Verve sprinkled with a bit of Spiritualized and Stone Roses. This duo from the Cali is pretty damn good. If you like any of the above mentioned bands I recommend you check it out.
