A 2005 indie must-have

"I'm in love with this album. It's rockin', dark, and sorta cute at the same time. I was never really a fan of minus story until i heard this. It has great percussion and light piano that give it a great spooky and mysterious tone.
The one thing that could understandably turn someone away from this album is the singer's voice, which may take a little getting used to, but is definitely more enjoyable than Dan Boekner of Wolf Parade or Alec Ounsworth of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.
If you decide to give this album a listen, check out these key tracks:
In our Hands
Will I be Fighting?
Ringing in the Dark
I was Hit
Little Wet Head
but honestly... they're all awesome
If pitchfork is your main source for new music then you're probably missing out on this one. It definitely didn't get the praise that it deserved.
I would advise against using pitchfork as a crutch as many people do. You do get to find some cool stuff, but you miss out on some little jems like this. Just dont waste your time listening to worthless crap like sunn o))), M.I.A., or art brut.
Please."
