Anyone heard of London Grammar? I just stumbled across this band. This track came out at the end of 2012, but their EP dropped this year.

Totally perplexed at most of the stuff on the Daft Punk album, some of it sounds like a parody of the worst parts of prog. Or like a bunch of self congratulatory musicians, who aren't even that talented, messing around. I mean Touch is just comical, I can't take that seriously at all. Instant Crush is horrible. Giorgio by Moroder is around six minutes too long. Pharrell sounds awful etc etc. I like Fragments of Time and the Panda Bear song but that's about it. Real suprised at the reviews for it so far, usually I can kind of get why things get laudatory reveiews but man, I can't get into this in any way.

Check this dude's take:

It will lead many musicians out of the cul-de-sac they currently face. And those that do not understand will be cursed to make disposable music on laptops forever." - Chilly Gonzales

I like this guys music but
