      Calcutta is a superb track, but what really caught my attention was Postcards.

      I don't know this band at all, but the vocalist has such a cold, detached voice (almost Darkwave / Coldwave / Minimal Synth) which when aligned to the icy synths & sharp production really creates a superb feeling.

      There's also a euphoric touch to the songwriting, which puts it definitely in-line with the likes of The Cure (A Forest) etc.

      I'm definitely going to check this band out more thoroughly. This single is superb.
