...easy to see the group's objection to its typecasting--despite band masterminds Richard Fearless and Tim Holmes touring with two guitar players, a bassist, a drummer, a keyboardist and a two-man horn section, the band is invariably compared to groups like Chemical Brothers and Massive Attack. Still, the easiest explanation for the persistence of the electronica label is the lack of a regular vocalist. After all, how many rock bands can you name that don't have a singer? In keeping with this idea of unconventionality, the band somehow managed to play a sterling, albeit too-short...
...With their crack band doing most of the work, there wasn't a lot for Fearless and Holmes to do. When not twiddling knobs with an almost comical intensity or guzzling Rolling Rocks, they would bop carefully behind their banks of equipment or clap their hands in the air. During particularly intense moments in the music, they would rock to the beat in a perfect, unintentional mimicking of the audience--two diehard music lovers grooving to their own creations.

...stumble upon it, may be overrated. The late literary critic Lionel Trilling noted that authenticity was a relatively modern idea. Until the Romantic era, you were not supposed to reveal your true self to the world. Now, that's all we're supposed to do. But think of our fearless World War II leaders. What if F.D.R. had let it all hang out about his physical pain, or Winston Churchill had talked through his depression? Keeping things to yourself isn't the worst thing for a candidate, a leader--or the rest...
