I haven't gotten into them full on properly but I do enjoy just about everything I've heard from them. I saw them at Coachella in 2005 and I had no idea who they were, but their set was captivating enough to stop me in my tracks and stay until the end. Their set was heavy psychedelic tinged and shoe gazey. In a way it sort of reminded me a bit of a young Pink Floyd in that it had that epic spark but a feeling of rawness as well. I'm not sure how their sets play out now but if I happened upon them again in a live setting I'd check them out again, for sure.
i don´t know how they manage to translate the record sound into live sound, it must be certainly a difficult task. When you saw them they were doing this shoegazing thing, it was so epic and over the top that was
too much. But what are they doing nowadays is something very special. Closer to Vangelis than My Bloody Valentine, so to speak. Lots of different styles and sounds, you discover new things with every listen.
I´d like to see them doing more soundtracks, it´d be amazing.
