Fair point - I was thinking specifically of the few Mogwai songs (such as "2 Rights Make 1 Wrong") that actually did feature vocals. That's a slip-up on my part.

I'm glad to see EITS getting some coverage here, and a nod to Mogwai, since both are huge favorites of mine, but what exactly were you going for when you wrote the the band are "at times reminiscent of Mogwai without the singing?" Roughly 95% of Mogwai's music is instrumental and that is exactly what people associate them with. I'm just confused... I can't picture anyone saying "they're like Mogwai, but instrumental," because that's pretty much what you imply and, well, it's just quite odd to make that comparison. I bet every Mogwai fan on earth thinks of them as a primarily always instrumental band with a few songs that include vocals. No hard feelings - both bands rule, just wanted to point out that oddity.
