I tried this band's 2008 album based on now unknown criteria, and though I didn't keep it, there was sufficient cause for investigation of this one released in April. As a long-time sci-fi fan, coping the title from a collection of shorts by Ray Bradbury was a good start, as was the opener and title track of the record...
...(I suppose this is where some of the Joy Division comparisons are based...loosely) and three of the first four, including the newest single...
Damned bizarre videos, don't 'ya think? Unfortunately, the remainder of the record was all downhill. Interesting ideas that never seemed to jell, even upon multiple listens. The album spent a couple of weeks on the British charts but I understand it's the band's live performances that are the draw, and we all know that's how you make money in today's musical environment.
Guess that means I'll never have the opportunity in Florida to find out...
