aaah long fin killie. how do you describe this band? rhythmic, bass-heavy, free-jazzy, squalling, melodic, sensitive, indie post-rock??? led by luke sutherland, formerly of fenn and later of bows and occasional guest for mogwai, this debut record makes me want to freak out, cry and jump with joy all at once. the other two are available on emusic.
