and above her a high window, which
looked out upon the lake and the shimmering mountains.
"How singularly people meet!" she cried out in a clear voice, and every
word was like a cool rain-drop on a hot summer's day.
"How singularly people meet, and how singularly they lose each other,"
said I; and thereupon I seized her hand, and realized that we were

"But people are to blame if they lose each other," she continued; and
her voice, which seemed always to accompany her words, like music,

The group blends samples, acoustic and electronic instrumentation, and singing from a revolving cast of vocalists. Its members, Adam and Ian, purposefully give very little information about the group or themselves, and tend to do little in the way of self-promotion.[1] Nevertheless, the group began winning critical acclaim with its single releases in 2005 and 2006.[2] Their full-length for XL, The World is Gone, arrived in July of 2006.[3][4][5][6][7] They have released a large number of vinyl EPs and 7 records, as well as digital exclusives for Rough Trade, iTunes, and Boomkat.[8]
