Yes, they get better and better. When I first heard them a few years ago
I was a bit put-off by what at first sounded like guitars to me.
Nonetheless I quickly was sucked in by the incredibly smooth and
intricate and untraditional melodies they use, both in the music and in
the vocals. And, of course, the guitars are only a small part of their
music, a lush, beautiful world of languages and pure sounds. And, yes,
sometimes they even rock it or swing it or pound it too. The first track
on ETK is so good! And I love that woman's sexy french voice singing
deconstructivist lyrics!
Pak yr romantic mind!
