Once More Into The Chill

The band line-up here is a simple two-piece guitar/vocals, drums/backing-track technician combo, but the sound is a full electronic (sometimes soulful) pop that I find myself preferring over fellow chill-wavers like Neon Indian, who I caught Wednesday. This might be the best group of the subgenre—well worth checking out.
