The band released their first "mini-album", called "Forward March!", on 9 July 2007 which received high praise - "Mute Magic, 7/10" - NME, "quite possibly the best debut album you will leap yourself upon in 2007... 4.5/5" - gigwise.com, “7/10” - Drowned In Sound. In 2008 TSDOLE released the single Angelou which includes the b side "Scared to death".
"They sound like God's own orchestra" - Uncut
"So unimpeachably huge it would probably need at least three cranes to shift it."
- Drowned in Sound
"They sound like Arcade Fire with tattoos and have a singer so dreamily effete he makes Neil Young seem like a car wash worker." – NME
