We've not been contacted by Dirk Ivins or his lawyers, but the short of it is that I don't really give a fuck what the band is called. I originated this project in a bedroom with no internet and didn't know if it would ever leave the bedroom."
Following this apparent rebirth (and full connection to the web, one assumes), the Brooklyn four-piece release debut album, Oshin, on June 26th through New York's influential Captured Tracks. To whet your appetite, here's album sampler 'Doused', a searing moment of psych-charged indie guitar-pop.
