civil twilight is one of my favourite bands. and what makes them even cooler is that they're South African :)
their sound is a little Coldplay, a little Muse, and a little something else that is just beautiful.
they are technically amazing (after seeing them live last year, i can vouch for this completely. the drummer and bassist - who is also the lead singer - are mind-blowing.), but they also just write such cool music. some of it is dark and intense, some of it is pretty and melancholic, and some of it is powerful and anthemic. i am a big fan of emotionally powerful music, and this band makes me feel, which is a good thing :)
i don't know what more to say, really. civil twilight is that rare, wonderful thing: a technically skilled band which makes beautiful, appealing music. have a listen for yourself:
this is a slightly more commercial, but still lovely and oh-so-catchy song:
