They seem to be the first Swiss band since YELLO that is on the way to comparable international recognition and fame. they also have changed their style quite obviously over the past 8 years. In the beginning it was rated as TripHop, says Wikipedia (don't know all these labels myself, there are too many nowadays), and now are more Pop-ish, which does not serve their music bad, I think.

I would like to see them gaining more stability in their quality, though, their songs are of wide-ranging quality currently. For every hit you listen too, there is a low. that ratio they still need to tune more towards the positive. The beautiful voice of their frontgirl (who obviously knows how to handle it, technically),and their sense of musicality and melody are their two greatest ressources to build on.

I noted that two of the songs I picked are almost pure Jazz. the concert I saw on TV also showed an explicit strength of theirs when performing live.
