I must concur. Indie-pop, try-psyche, wannabe poser-rocker college drop-out masturbation....

Dude.....this is terrible.Suppose though, if you dig cheese indie pop-To each his arghh.

F*cking phenomenal. Makes any indie-pop band sound like tepid fart-gas escaping from a limp circus-clown balloon animal.

I would say that their style could be considered a 'new trend' only if you haven't been paying attention to (western indie-pop) music for the last 10+ years. In fact, if I had to label them I would call them new wave more than anything... there's a lot of B-52's-esque zaniness in their work!

That being said, I fucking LOVE the Saved By the Bell theme!

Hey, what's the Woohoo connection and this is rocknroll (indie pop), no?

FWIW, I'm also friends with someone who works at the label that released their album in Canada.

The final arbiter of facts, Wikipedia (heh), supports the confusion though, classifying them both as Indie Rock and Indie Pop.

Absolutely love Belle & Sebastian. It's nice to see a little indie pop on this site. Fitting video for the song..
