Old School?

Just came across this band. Apparently they've been around for a while.

Pitchfork reviewed their most recent release (a greatest hits collection) earlier this year.

Below are a couple of selected tracks which I enjoyed. (You have to register for imeem to listen to the entire track, but it's free!)

King Khan and the Shrines - Torture



King Khan and the Shrines - Took My Lady to Dinner



Really enjoying this music. Good instrumentation, great lyrics. ("My babies fat / She's ugly / She's fat and she's ugly / but I love her/ I love her / Oh yes oh yes I do.") If nothing else, the guy's mustache is awesome.

And special thanks to Daily Cherez / Hilal for the recommendation.
