Drowned In Sound
A record of succinct pop ditties ... it fits in well with the internet generation ... it fits in well with the elder generation, used to these classical tropes of songwriting

A slow-to-excite but masochistically pleasing dark horse of a record, with lyrics that are either muttering fuck-you or fuck-me or fuck-everything
