Also performing: Those (feat.JJ Watson)
"Those's
music is instrumental and evocative. Those establish a signature sound that
touches on New Wave and Western scores whilst simultaneously evoking British anorak
bands, Kiwi rock, and Aussie underground bands of the '80s, albeit
cleaner and less shambolic." - Amoeba Music blog
