The new album,
Another Year in Philadelphia, was recently reviewed in Go Metric.
http://gometric.typepad.com/gometric/2008/10/a-study-in-her.html Some pretty heady, layered pop that alternates between
Grandaddy/Postal Service-esque synth dynamics and Gang of Four/Radio 4
rhythms. It takes a while to navigate through the sounds but in most
cases a keen ear can latch onto a hook. Former members of Charlie
Brown Gets A Valentine are in this group, which doesn't give you a
musical reference point other than loose recognition that ASiH is a
different take on electro-pop/rock/clash much like CBGaV was a
different take on indie rock/punk tunes. -- Mark Hughson
