Sorry for being so mainstream, but this really is a very good album. Shame they went and became incredibly boring. Oh well, this makes up for it.
Lead singer Orlando Weeks stated once that the band came up with the name by flicking through the Bible and picking out a random word. Despite adopting a name with religious connotations, he affirmed that none of the band are religious.
Debuting in 2004 with the You Make Noise I Make Sandwiches EP (released on Haircut Records), they released their first single X-Ray on Promise Records on November 28, 2005. Receiving just little significant exposure - some evening play on XFM London radio station - the band however scored a minor indie hit with their second post-punk influenced single Latchmere released in April 2006 onFierce Panda Records.
Then inking a deal with the Polydor imprint (and former home of The Cure) Fiction Records the band will release on May 4, 2007 their first studio album Colour It In.
To date (late September 2007) they have released three (widely available) singles from the album (First Love, About Your Dress and Precious Time) with a fourth and final single Toothpaste Kisses released on October 8, 2007.
