Simon Doom (New York) doesn’t sound like his name at all.  Doom?  There is no doom here.  Simon Doom is the vehicle for Simon O’Connor who was previously Kuroma - I’d never heard of this band, but they get rave reviews across two albums.

I know I’m predisposed to hear Flying Nun in everything...here it’s in the instruments.  The vocals are more “conventional”...and I guess that means I can’t pinpoint them or they sound like 1990s bands like Of Montreal.  “Babyman” was produced by MGMT (you can definitely hear their pop sensibilities here.
