Thoughts on Cheekface (startrek.website)

Do any of you guys listen to the band Cheekface? I like them a decent amount (not as much as TMBG, though).

I've always found lyrically, they have some of the same vibes as They Might Be Giants (if a bit more consistently dark), the vocals somewhat remind me of the Johns (in that it wouldn't necessarily have mainstream appeal, yet makes the song better), but the music itself is a bit different. (Funny enough, they did a cover of Ana Ng, though I'd say it is only okay.)

Never made any connection to them and TMBG before, but Cheekface is one of my favorite slacker rock acts I've heard in the past few years. Really solid, witty, and self-depreciating stuff. "Plastic" is probably my favorite song by them

I love "We Need a Bigger Dumpster", partly because of its rambling.
