I go back and forth between trying to hate on them and loving them. Its weird.

Same here...
Can't concede to loving them 'cause then it's hipster victory.
Can't needlessly hate them.

Maybe I'll like them but not associate with anyone else who likes them.

Like them with Robert...

bingo.

[Gearmond]

meh, they're lamesauce.

they stopped stealing from other artists, but they still sound like shit, and alice is just a fucking sideshow.

its like if darkwave was crap and "done ironically" even though no one knows why or how.

They're one of my favorite acts of recent years, although I completely realize they're full of pastiche and affectation.
Thing is, I love that.

Honestly, I don't really get the whole fashion/originality/etc. arguments when it comes to pop music. I mean, you're looking in the wrong direction for that bullshit.

Oh, and I like Robert, but definitely not there. Oddly, I had this same discussion 2 days ago on facebook.

[tuffteef]

love them
met them in a street one day and they covered there faces with there jumpers
they were really shy and slightly odd but nice haha

[kbit]

I really like them; relatively simple, lush/chaotic, infectious.
& this is probably the best use of a 1980's rap beat I've heard:

New album has more... atmospheric tracks I guess you could say. They aren't ambient or anything, but the majority have more girth I guess...

The first post has a bunch of songs off the new album that will give you a better idea of what I'm trying to convey.
