Release Notes:

A snarling testament to obsession, mistakes, stalking and demented
cruelty, 'I've Been Thinking' is simply a song about all the things
that makes love painful and addictive.  Bringing together gleeful
messiness and proper pop sensibilities with the duo's trademark combo
of electronics pushed to the point of meltdown, thrashing guitars and
Karen-O-in-a-bitch-fight vocals, 'I've Been Thinking' harks back to the
glory days of Devo and adds a pinch of Late of the Pier.

Mariko Doi and Tony Wade collided one night under Tokyo's neon sky,
bonding over a mutual love of Blondie, Gang of Four, Link Wray, and the
colour yellow.  After the first song they wrote - 'Palookaville' - was
instantly played by the venerable John Peel they realised that maybe
they were on to something. Their quickly released follow up single 'HND
in RNR' proved them right, setting the press and industry abuzz and
even getting featured on 'Dirty Sanchez the Movie'.  Since then they've
toured Japan, faced down 'lizzards whilst touring Germany, and shared
stages with the likes of Metronomy, The Hives, XX Teens and Cornelius.

No other band around today could make the music they are making,
smashing Japanese and British influences to create punchy, visceral,
new wave punk, all in the laudable search for 'the perfect pop songö.

With 'I've Been Thinkingö, they may well have just found it...
