Gigantic gesture of obeisance to South Park star Robert Smith and co., featuring a fat hunk of L.A.'s newly promising psychonauts reinforced by a few marquee darlings (Dandy Warhols, Kaki King, Jesu) and Manimal sympathizers discovered on the other side of several oceans. Even if the Cure thing isn't your thing, keep in mind this—if there was some OTHER comp that put Indian Jewelry, the Muslims, Hecuba, Corridor and the Dandy Warhols all in once place, you'd grab that up, eh?
