the indelicates are an english indie pop/folk/rock/whatever group, formed in 2005 by simon indelicate and julia indelicate, who started the pipettes and then apparently wised up and left that band when she realized what she had done. they have finally put out their first full-length album, called american demo. it’s different. it’s clever. it’s like the weird bastard child of kurt weill and queen. in a good way. like literate burlesque mixed with anthem rock. this might be the best thing that has happened to music in a long time. they have songs called ‘if jeff buckley had lived’ and ‘waiting for pete doherty to die.’ they talk about the media and shit. they can read. and julia has the clearest, most effortless opera-with-an-attitude voice.

don’t believe me? go ahead, watch the videos for the new singles ‘america’ and ‘new art for the people.’ then go buy the record from british amazon or something, because it is awesome.
