An Estonian band who sound a lot like the poppier bits of My Bloody Valentine. Male/female harmonies, excellent clean and dirty guitar sounds, very listenable. I've seen the main guitarist pictured with a white strat and also a surf green JM.
I'd recommend starting with their first LP, "In Solarium" - it's more cohesive than the rereleased EPs on "Sailing On A Grapefruit Lake" and a bit more upbeat than their most recent "Nature Heart Software".

I just 'found' a copy of nature heart software the other day along with a few songs off other albums and it's all quite good... reminds me a bit of mbv's ecstasy & wine

Bless you, Justin, for bumping my poor lonely little thread off the very bottom of the Music forum where it has been ever since I started it.
They're still on regular rotation in my study.
