The only thing that I can think of that would compare them with GYBE! is that they drape a huge blank, white sheet behind the stage and run art films on it while they play, which the guitarist makes (the guitarist was a film student and makes documentaries for a living), which GYBE! also does. And many reviewers say stupid things like, "Oh, they have a guy who puts down his guitar and plays cello or violin; they must be influenced by Godspeed." Like GYBE! was the first or last band to use live strings. I guess there are a few songs that sound Godspeedish, but I have to go with the majority of reviewers and drop names like Early Day Miners, vocal-less Sigur Ros, and Unwed Sailor.
Glad you liked the mp3s and are buying the album.
