Ragamuffin Children-Sarah McLachlan & Radiohead's Love Child?

Though Kiwi-act Ragamuffin Children has had their album Werecat Lullabies out for over a year I've only just heard of them. I'm going to blame the tardiness of my enlightenment on the fact that New Zealand is very very far away.
So if you're wondering what Sarah McLachlan & Radiohead's lovechild raised in a boarding school in Iceland run by Sigur Ròs would sound like I definitely recommend checking this Kiwi duo out.
By the way-There seriously must be something in the water out there in New Zealand that makes people pair up and start folk bands (See:Flight of the Conchords). No wonder it's the land of Frodo & Samwise.

Some Track Shots-
Reading the Stone : Classic 'Surfacing' Sarah McLaughlin
Ancestors: Classic McLaughlin/Delirium collabo
Sea Shanty: Sounds exactly like 'Amnesiac' off of Radiohead's 'Ok Computer'
Bullets- Radiohead's 'Everything In Its Right Place' with a slower metronome.
Here's the Rain & Minstrel-If Sigur Ròs ever sang in English...

"You have a koala stuck on the grill of your car."



FYI:I have it on good authority (thanks, Andy!) that koalas aren't vicious beasts.
Apparently educational institutions in the Northern Hemisphere has led us to believe that koalas are ferocious teddy bears hanging on bamboo poles all through out Australia. They arent.
So now you know.

PC BONUS: Let's take a look at how other people say "car"
