Dublin’s Grand Pocket Orchestra make break beat, hyperactive indie pop songs that only young British kids seem to be able to muster: the guitar lines are catchy and the keyboards bleeps and bloops follow the crazy vocals note-for-note. It all makes for a sort of schizophonic happy mess that recalls a slightly unhinged version of Múm on uppers and Prozac. The four songs we have for download today (“Chongo Pop," “Get Go,” "Little Messy," and “Odd Socks”) are the epitome of that sound, if you will. GPO have some big things lined up for 2008, notably finishing up their debut album for Irish indie label Fifa, with Mario Thaler (who has worked with the Notwist and Lali Puna) on the decks.

Sounds like: CSS, Pavement, Best Fwends
