OMFG

Has anyone ever heard of The Playing Fields?

Holy Mary, Mother of Mice. This is a goddamn good band. Like, for reals.

I had received a friend request on MySpace from some DJ in London and when I went to check out their profile, Hello, New World was playing. Sweet Jesus. I immediately searched them out and downloaded their entire album, after only hearing that one song and now I've been listening to them over and over for the past couple of hours while I work on my Western Civ II exam.

She thinks of her father as a train wreck,
Riding his rollercoaster towards death, and
They speak in a twist of languages,
Speed winding in her stomach round
All the bends.

(& all you'll ever see is you looking back at me.
& all you'll ever see is you looking back at me.)

It puts this knot in my stomach that I can not explain.

Well.

Actually, how I feel about that bit of lyric can be explained. Particularly if you know anything about my father. But, I mean the music as a whole.

Yeah.

I'll quit while I'm ahead. Go listen to them. Now.

**edit**
A description, if you please:

"The band’s sound is... what might happen if Lou Reed and H. P. Lovecraft met in a pub one dark and gloomy night and decided to form a band. Some of the most hauntingly-poetic lyrics ever to grace a debut - or for that matter, platinum - album." (Music4M)

You've sold me. They just jumped to "first download" when my emusic reloads for May.
