The band consists of lead singer and rhythmic guitarist <b>Johnny Borrell</b>, guitarist<b> Björn Ågren</b>, bass guitarist <b>Carl Gustaf Dalemo </b>and drummer <b>David 'Skully' Sullivan Kaplan</b>. <br />
<br />
Their debut album, <b>Up All Night</b>, was released on June 28, 2004, reaching number 3 in the UK album charts on 4 July. The critical reception was generally good, receiving good reviews from NME, Q magazine and Billboard, although they were also accused of lack of imagination and unoriginality for allegedly borrowing ideas from other influential bands, notably The Strokes. They appear to polarize opinion. NME wrote that the album: “bristles with passion, energy and, most importantly, amazing songs”, while they were described elsewhere as “nearly everything wrong with rock and roll today”. Their fans, though, embrace the music for its simple melodies and multi-layered, easy-going compositions.<br />

Consisting of <b>Erlend Øye</b> and <b>Eirik Glambek Bøe</b>, the musical group is known for their delicate tunes, calming voices, and intricate and subtle guitar melodies. <b>Øye </b>and <b>Bøe </b>both compose and sing the songs.<br />
<br />
The twosome were signed to the American label Kindercore after appearing in European festivals during the summer of 1999. After a spell living in London in 2001, they released their debut album Quiet Is the New Loud. The album was produced by Coldplay producer Ken Nelson. The album was very successful and even lent its name to a small movement of musicians in the pop underground (including acoustic contemporaries such as Turin Brakes) which took Belle & Sebastian and Simon and Garfunkel as their inspiration and focused on more subtle melodies and messages.<br />

Her music is associated with the anti-folk scene centered in <b>New York City's East Village</b>.<br />
<br />
<b>Spektor </b>has said that she has created a great number of songs, but that she rarely writes any of them down. She has also stated that she never aspired to write songs herself, but songs seem to just flow to her. Spektor's songs are not usually autobiographical, but rather are based on scenarios and characters drawn from her imagination. Her songs show influences from folk, punk, rock, Jewish, Russian, hip hop, jazz, and classical music.<b> Spektor </b>has said that she works hard to ensure that each of her songs has its own musical style, rather than trying to develop a distinctive style for her music as a whole...<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regina_Spektor">more info</a><br />
