Finally listening to this V - Twin album. I'm so confused by this. It's excellent early 2000s rock, released on a pretty big time label, but last.fm has *no* information about them and only 2 listeners have scrobbled them. Meanwhile AllMusic says this:
"In the process, the duo made major fans out of fellow artists such as Belle And Sebastian, the Pastels, Alex Chilton. American songwriting legend Dan Penn also invited the duo to collaborate in the studio."
If there are only 2 who have scrobbled them, then I am one of them, as I am on the Domino drip and usually try to listen as soon as possible (within a day or so). Enjoyed and will probably listen to them again by the end of the weekend.
After five years, we’ve decided to conclude Drip on March 18. It was a difficult decision, but after assessing all our options we believe it’s the best one. Read on to learn why:

Yes, I saw that, too Craig, though I feel like some labels are missing. When I looked yesterday, Morr didn't come up, but came up through a google search.

I'm dumbfounded that I've never heard of them.

It touches upon Drip.fm, but goes on from there.
