Debut album Flux: http://www.mediafire...hm5g17q3vw5f353

I really cannot find much info about this band, probably because they are called '22'

Where to start, they kind of combine a lot of styles from the bands mentioned in the FFO - slight tapping and post-hardcore of TFOT, the transcendant vocals of Dredg, the poppy elements of Coheed and TDH and the weird progressive rock of TMV. Maybe even some Muse in there at times.

Let me know what you think

this music is a culmination of all that i have listened to (minus the jazz and lo-fi indie). in otherwords: sexy.
thanks alex.

disconnecting from the grid made love to my ears.

Downloading...
Susurrus downloaded first and just started playing... my jaw dropped and I stopped everything I was doing after the first 5 seconds.

Bravo.

This.

I feel a little bit of Mew in there as well?
Either way, great stuff; thanks for the upload.

I think most of my favorite music -- Moving Mountains, The Reign of Kindo, and This Town Needs Guns -- was found on this forum.

[Grizzly Bear Arcade]

Thanks, stretts. The opening guitar sound of Plastik reminds me of HORSE and the vocals are kinda Kindo-ish. Obviously I just started listening.

I actually really like their logo. Very simple.

[stretts]

glad everyone is enjoying, and yeah Sao definately some Mew in there

[Grizzly Bear Arcade]

Yeah, haven't stopped listening to it. Good find, man.

[AlcoholandOxygn]

I don't think I've actually signed in and respondeed in over a year. But this band made me. Big thanks to Stretts. This is fantastic.

[Roger]

Yeah this sounds pretty ridiculous. Really like it.

[stretts]

the only issue I have is these guys look like complete nutters, i mean shirtless hoodies? grotesque amounts of eyeliner, shaved sides of heads, ridiculous neck scarves and glitter lol.

maybe thats what they dig in Norway?

That being said, I AM That I Am and Loopwhole are so fucking catchy

[Grizzly Bear Arcade]

Kneel Estate pretty much has me popping boners all over the place.

Something to be said for making a cohesive band image and whatnot. Plus look at Bjork, Sigur Ros, and all those other crazy Scandinavians...
It's pretty cool if a bit nutty.

Absolutely awesome band. Great find. Loving Plastik and Flux

[SoundscapeMN]

got me curious..I guess having had to search for bands like 3 and whatnot, my suggestion in doing a search is use the title of an album or song or a band member's name.

edit: okay I'm checking this out. The description actually doesn't sound too far from 100Ft Snowman, but that's not what I'm hearing exactly. They almost sound like a mathiy version of Sound & Shape. I'm liking this thus far.

[AlcoholandOxygn]

Has anyone been able to find lyrics for any of the songs?
