haven't heard the new album yet - thanks for the link.
i really like them. they are proper weird, not fake weird - and they can write a catchy chorus. apparently they were playing the sonar festival and the singer laid down and slept through their (instrumental) performance - that's the attitude.
good luck to 'em.
reggaeton meets linkin' park
listenin to a tune right now so can't hear at the moment but that sounds like the worst combo everr!!
i have also the feeling they are really weird.
look here:

what is really impressing is that this broadcast was posted at youtube in april 2008 - at this date the first TNP album was just one year old - and they were already playing other songs from the 2010 album - and they are really young ...
this one sounds better...without lyrics...it sounds like Tuxedomoon on rehearsal

So wack!
Pppffff not really my style
I think shit
hipsters that will be forgotten in few months
if i went home with a girl after the club and she put that on i would break for the border
apparently they were playing the sonar festival and the singer laid down and slept through their (instrumental) performance
each to their own of course, but I think this sounds horrible. heavy, heavy horrible.
the music isnt for me either Im afraid
i was expecting such a response here but i think they are special and that they have a big potential. and forgotten in a few months? this is the 2nd album, the first was released in 2007 - both on DOMINO records, a good label imo.

You keep trying and trying! Remember Thieves Like Us? Why u wanna convert these forumz into some random hipster hangout?
tuxedomoon comparison is a good one. "numerology" my favourite track, too.
Let's talk about "Vampire Weekend"!

Didn't hear the new album yet. First one had some pretty nice tunes!
Beach House are quite good, too. Same sort of light, poppy sound.

Sorry, my first post wasn't that serious. I don't know Vampire Weekend, I just keep reading their name everywhere at the moment, so I checked two of their clips on Youtube and they were HORRIBLE. They suck so hard, even These New Puritans are better - IMO.
i think its unfair to push TNP in that "hipster" category together with vampire weekend and so on... vampire weekend is mainstream alternative music for every "indie-disco". TNP definitely not.. if they want to have big success in the so called "indie" or "alternative" market they would have never released such a weird, strange and experimental album (some tunes are totally gloomy dead can dance instrumentals). they are not many bands around in that style. they are special imo. but anybody who hates them can do that, no problem - taste is always differnet ...
btw: everybody is loving the new HOT CHIP album? i think its quite boring (but the ccarl craig remix is great)
Sure, it may be unfair, but hey, it's all the same to us robots!
By the way, believe it or not, I wanted to mention Hot Chip as well. They are everywhere at the moment, Jesus. So annoying. And, guess what, all of their stuff I checked out on Youtube sucked. Boooring.
But hey, that's just me!
so maybe you are a stalinist and has problems with every mainstream/band music? if not, tell me just ONE band/project at the moment which you like! would be cool to know whats your taste ...
Hot Chip had some cool tracks: "Over and Over" or the heartbreaking DFA-remix of "just like we"

@dolcevita
yeah that dfa remix is the best hot chip/-related song... though fred falke remix of colours is great too
and don't forget:

imo they have been on a bit of a downward trajectory; each album slightly worse than the last. joe goddard did a solo album of mostly instrumentals, worth checking out if you like the hot chip stuff...
