They make some really great music
I'll never forget the first time I heard them many years ago. I heard "swamp thing". Then I listened to their whole album online. This whole time I had no idea what they looked like. So maybe a week later I went on youtube looking for live performances but I kept getting videos this white band with a singer looking like she was the lead singer of a grunge group. I kept wondering, "why the fukk does this band keep covering Hiatus Kaiyote and why is it the only thing popping up" until I googled them and found that it was the actual group. I swear to God that's exactly how it happened.

after the song "swamp thing" ended, they had an open snare and kick I used many times :laugh:

Yessir!!

I remember that! LOL!! It used to go into the new track mad seamlessly. They had those Ummah sounding drums, to me. So their snares were always dope! I never thought to lift that. I might have to go back and grab those right quick, lol.
