Hefner "When The Angels Play Their Drum Machines"

Hefner is a British indie rock band that released music from 1996 to 2002. Their fourth and final album was called Dead Media and was a departure for the band, as they utilized basically all electronic elements versus the traditional guitar, bass and drums that populated their previous releases. One track I loved from the CD was called "When The Angels Play Their Drum Machines." Honestly, it's a pretty depressing song lyrically but I sorta like that and I love the instrumentation. It's sort of disconnected and cold while still somehow being engaging and catchy. I can't speak for all of Hefner's music but I sure do like this one!
