THE SMILE OF VICTORY.
[According to Reuter's Washington Correspondent, women suffragists have
of late regularly picketed the White House. When President WILSON
appears "they deploy so that he cannot fail to see their banners. The
President smiles broadly and passes on."]

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]
