Been listening to their stuff for a while. Favourite song is without a doubt Nightcall. My main issue, and I think others felt this as well, was that there was a very similar tempo and structure to every song on the album. They start of slow and then get quite dancey towards the end. I don't know what made this particularly noticeable on If I Wait, but the iambic movement of every song gave the album a somewhat repetitive feeling.

Have you heard VAULTS? Check out Premonitions. It's a tad darker than London Grammar without being as dark as Banks, for example. The singer's voice is also quite husky at times, it reminds me of the singer from a rock band called Dommin.
