Most of the rest of this album is better than this track, surprised that RP isn't playing 'Seeds', 'Yer Spring' or 'Welcome' from this album.

As others have noted,  Ya think they were listening to much Radiohead when they made this record??

"Built with our own two hands"? Do they only have two hands? Maybe that explains the sound.

The way the singer's voice cracks reminds me of the singer from the Blue Nile (Walk Across the Rooftops, etc.)  I do like it.

for any fans - they're playing a 75 minute set in ottowa soon - taking requests for other songs for their set list besides what's on Seeds via their facebook page.

First time I've heard this.  Quite nice.  And, a melodic bass line too!  I'll open with a 6.

Agree I was thinking really bad Dave Matthews. And it's not like there is much good Dave Matthews.

Indeed, my kids often find and bring me music from all kinds of past times. . . as well as getting me to listen to what is going down now.

Its not all bad out there. . . while there is certainly some rubbish being marketed to us right now, there was always rubbish out there. The trick is to keep your ear filters clean. 
 

With Ga Ga and Perry, and the others in that style, what people are buying is not the music really.  They are identifying with the act, buying into a lifestyle.  These acts are mostly performance driven.  I am a big Brian Eno fan, particularly his Ambient music, but I cannot imagine going to see a performance of his.  I don’t even care if I ever do and I would not go out of my way to see one.  The music is all that matters to me, and a lot of Eno's is like computer generated or something, I really do not know.  Rock acts like U2, and Rap, and Heavy Metal, all go for that performance driven style too, to at least some degree.  People, especially youth, identify with these acts.  There is an old cliché in Rock that you can’t get signed to a recording contract once you reach something like 25.  I’d just argue that none of this has anything to do with the important aspects of music.  I think Elvis, Madonna and Michael Jackson had some decent music, but they were legends mainly for their acts, not their music.

Sounds quite a lot like Elbow which in itself sounds almost like a compliment...unless you find the majority of my Elbow ratings

True enough. I also hear a fair bit of Porcupine Tree influence in the tricksy drums and guitars, and IMO it's no coincidence that this is played close to PT's "Stranger by the minute". Nice, a grower, I think. An initial 7 from the intrigued Nottingham jury.
