In fact, no. I haven't paid any attention to them to be honest.
But in October, when I was in Portugal listening to Vive Albuifeira FM Radio (I remember the name so well, as it was announced every 5 seconds, and the bloke said "Albufeira" funny), and a song came on (as they do).
I liked it. I liked it a lot. Didn't have a clue who it was by - they never said.
But I literally found out 15 minutes ago during the ad for their album - "Silence is Easy", which coincidentally is the song I had heard.
Annnnnywayyyyy, I just heard "Four to the Floor" on the tele a minute ago (which I'd heard a tiny amount of before, and some from, again, the album advert) - and it's excellent.
A good solid mix of instruments. Which is what I like.
So really, yes. I'm impressed. All in the last 20 minutes. By a band whose name had put me off for a while, even though I had no idea as to their genre of music.
Ah well. I really am considering buying their album.
And Heartbreaker and Trampled Underfoot are the lords of Zeppelin songs.

But he asked about Starsailor.
Buh-boom-tsch.
Some of the lyrics are pretty cheesy, but some others are fantastical.
And Shark Food only has 4 lines, repeated over and over. Which is fine until you actually realise, then it's pretty annoying.
Telling Them is lovely, and Bring My Love is most amazing - reminds me a bit of the Coral for some reason.
Worth a buy, no doubt.

I thought they were from Wigan? I'm fairly close to both, I suppose.
> Can I touch you?
Well it is highly unorthodox, but NO
:)
Ok, I'm done basking in their reflected glory now.
