First listen and I want to kill this band. "Is this what "Indie" music has become? Generic happy clappy bollocks..." I mumble to myself as I've finally got used to no-one really listening to what I have to say. "Fuck it, give it another spin.".

Second time around and the red mist is clearing, third time and I'm like an 80 a day smoker, already thinking about lighting up the next fag before they've got a third of the way through the one they've got lodged in their nicotine stained pinkies.

All is forgiven. TPC are not the kind of indie band deserving of being listed next to the likes of The Hoosiers or The Kooks. So TPC have got a neat line in tunes, and In A Cave is certainly a highlight from their current album, the Death Cab For Cutie influenced, Elephant Shell. That doesn't mean they suck.

This could end up on something like The OC, but it shouldn't; it deserves more than that. Tunes don't always have to be immediate, and although In A Cave sounds as if it is, there's something about that chorus that burns slowly and eats away at your brain like a candle forcibly jammed in your ear.
