Sometimes things pass me by

I just picked up an album by a band who I had seen advertised but had ignored, as I didn't like the advertising; because I don't listen to the radio my exposure to new music isn't great and so I don't know if they got much air time but I remember the posters being up in the underground when I went up to London a few months ago.

I couple of weeks ago we were wondering around Bluewater and I heard a track which I really liked and could have been a couple of my favorite bands from the 80s and 00s but wasn't quite right. I Shazam'd it on the iPhone and it was this

I downloaded the album and have only listened to the first few tracks but I'm really liking it and if I hadn't been in Bluewater that day at that time I may have missed out completely

I think that song in particular, is like marmite from what I've heard around school. I know people that hate it.. I personally think its epic!

I was tempted to get the album, maybe I'll give it a sample and make a decision!

I shall give the album a listen here.

I really liked the song but haven't listened to the rest of the album. I think I made a blog post about it some time ago

I think this song absolutely blew up in America. I definitely remember that chatroulette improv guy doing a rendition of it at the request of some random.

Any clues? Link doesn't work on my phone, so have no idea who you're all talking about!

It's Fireflys by Owl City Kitten

I think he sounds like two different bands/ artists bothof whom I like a lot

Green from Scritti Polliti
Death Cab for Cutie
