Hi people,

I wanted to send this mail a long time ago, when your last album came out, but I never sat down to actually do it. So it's a bit late, in a sense, but anyway…
I wanted to tell you how much I miss your kick-ass approach, which used to groove in your previous stuff, and which simply isn't there anymore in Myth Takes. The whole idea of disco-PUNK turned into disco-something (maybe disco-hipster?), and instead of that original groove, there appeared much more mass-conforming melodies. Pitchfork celebrated you, while last.fm shoutbox got flooded with new fans saying things like "ohhh, i've just heard of this band and they are so cool!", echoing what they previously wrote on the page of some other pitchfork hype, as well as on the page of arctic moneys or cold play.
The main point is this: the whole political kick is gone, and that's a shame. It's clear you "don't give a fuck" anymore about that, and that you definitely didn't "Intensify". And nobody thinks you're "fucking crazy or something", cause your music is now way too normal to be crazy.
It's a shame. You used to be one of my favourite bands.

Cheers,

Renu
