Can anyone tell me if they are any cop. Got a compilation album with the song 'Fishing for a dream' on it, which I think is bloody marvellous. Almost bought their album 'Jackinabox' the other day.
Is the rest of the album of similar style? It's certainly an enjoyable departure from most of the brash rock/indie stuff that the music industry is saturated with at the moment. I actually like a great deal of it, but it's nice to have a change of tempo.

Optimist LP > Ether Song >>>> Jakinabox
Painkiller was alright. Save me, though, is just poor.

Yup. Get Last Clown, Stone Thrown, 5 Miles (These Are The Days), Average Man and Mind Over Money aswell.
Actually, just get The Optimist LP. Gorgeous album, lilting and perfect for background music. JackInABox in my view is the weakest of the three by a long way. Optimist is superb, Ether Song is incredibly good but in a very different way and JIAB is just a bit... plain really.
Wouldn't've thought Snuggly'd like them though. Thought they'd be a bit bed wetty?

From what I've heard it's the same songs with different lyrics.
