So Gears of War 1 pretty much MADE 'Mad World' a hit some Christmases ago by using it really well in their ad(I have no idea if this is true but it sounds about right) and if you've caught the GOW 2 trailer they do a similar thing.
It works really well and at the very least catches your attention, and I only just got around to looking into the music
It's a band called DeVotchKa
Turns out they did the music to Little Miss Sunshine and have in fact been around for a wee while now.
Downloaded their album with the Gears song on it and it's awesome!
Been listening to it several times today, it's at times like a Mexican, Eastern European Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds mixed with Sigur Ros backing. On Crack! And Acid!
Well no. Not really. Sounds nothing like they're on crack. Or Acid. Sorry. Just sounded good.
But it's worth downin'... or, if you have "copyright sensitivity issues", buying!
