My favorite electronic band, hands down. I wish Ben Gibbard would make it his main project.

Then again, I wouldn't want that to bring about substantial changes.

I agree with Leonardo, the way Tamborello mixed the songs is very simplistic, but yet it still doesn't sound bare. (When I think of "bare" sounding electro-pop, The Blow and Yacht come to mind.) Something about Give Up sounds so nostalgic even when I listened to it the first time. The ambiance of the album to me are fuzzy memories of childhood summers and first loves. Does anyone else get that vibe from the album?
