I'm a sucker for tortured romance, both in film and music. I think that's what drew me into "Forget Me Not" by Thieves Like Us. You may remember Thieves Like Us from our past song of the day, "Drugs in My Body" . And here's a little known factoid. The band toyed with changing their name to "Factory Party" back in 2007, but it never stuck. The band explains the song: Forget Me Not tells the bleak story of a petty thief who falls [...]
Having loved Stars since first hearing 'Elevator Love Letter', I was excited to finally see them in person. It was only after I purchased a ticket that I learned they would be playing their forthcoming album, The Five Ghosts , in its entirety. It takes a brave band to perform that much new material without alienating the audience. Thankfully, the initial unfamiliarity quickly gave in to a massive love-in between the band and the crowd. I had a less successful experience with Islands in that hazy period between Return to the Sea and Arm's [...]

Seven albums and counting yet we've never heard of Amari … how can this be!? The pasty, sunlight-starved inhabitants of Tashed HQ have their ears pressed to the ground pressed to the ground 24-7 (as much out of fear as a desire to bring you timely and compelling content), yet it's reassuring we can be still be surprised by a previously-unknown troupe of electropop miscreants hailing from the spiritual Italo homeland of Udine. As their bumper back catalogue would suggest, the Italian five-piece have been at the [...]
Thieves Like Us hit the scene with the massive club banger , "Drugs My Body". The two Swedes and an American (I guess if "Two and Half Men" don't pan out, they can always get Thieves Like Us) are set to take over one more time, with their sophomore effort, "Again and Again". They recorded the album in a basemen in Paris last year and are scheduled to release the new album this summer. Listen to a new track from the forthcoming album below. Thieves Like Us-Forget Me Not [mp3] [...]
Usually I'm not overly excited by dance music, but this new Thieves Like Us jam is perfect for a Friday. It's got a steady groove that just trucks along, and the smooth vocals remind me of the work of Junior Boys . It's just that sort of chill song that catches your ear as you gear up for an exciting Friday at the office. It's from the band's new album, Again and Again , which hits stores on July 6th. Now chill. [...]
mp3: Thieves Like Us - Forget Me Not We've been behind Thieves Like Us almost since this blog started in late 2006 and it is with great pleasure that we announce the electronic trio's sophomore LP Again and Again . The 10 track set is due July 6th and we bring you the closing track "Forget Me Not". Grab it above!
Thieves Like Us are named after a New Order song and are two Swedes and one American living in Berlin, Paris, and Milan. They are one of the only multi-nationals that won't exploit you. Mexicans love them. The French love them. Americans love them. The Japanese love them. Neither Andy Grier (vocals, guitar), Björn Berglund (synth), nor Pontus Berghe (percussion) live in their home countries, and none of them probably ever will again. Thieves Like Us continue their style of sentimental electronic music with their second long player, Again and Again . Recorded [...]
Hard to believe it's been three years since Thieves Like Us ' Drugs In My Body appeared on a Kitsuné compilation and swiftly proceeded to soundtrack everyone's summer. It's even harder to believe that same track that felt so new , so now in 2007 was actually already two years old when we all caught on. Yet the allure of the light, unpolished vocals and pulsing rings of electronic backing were lost on me over the vapid lyrics and I wrote Thieves Like Us off, dumping them alongside summer '07 contemporaries, The Teenagers [...]

Part Swedish, part American trio Thieves Like Us are now based in Paris and they're about to give us their second album "Again And Again" (released by deBonton on May 7th). The first taste of the new album is the single "Forget Me Not" that comes backed with this mellow, excellent remix from Cécile (of Cécile & Venice fame). Thieves Like Us - Forget Me Not (Cécile Small Town Girl remix) (Mediafire)
Thieves Like Us are Pontus Berghe (Swede), Björn Berglund (Swede) and Andy Griera (Yank), a heavenly tripartite living in Paris ... the capital city of France. They have had a lot of releases, including free download albums which you can find here . While there, gawp at the stunning artwork that clothes their beautiful music. I would say their tastes take in a lot from acid house to disco, all bound and glued together with the sort of lush production that is both rare and wonderful. Like those Kinda chocolate cake bars with that [...]

Full of arpeggios and 80's synth chords [...]
