Thieves Like Us--Kinda Authentic?

You might remember the band THIEVES LIKE US from one of the most popular bloghaus remix contests of all time for the hit song "Drugs in My Body."

You might also remember them from one of the most popular promotional GIFs of all time which promoted the remix contest.

I am drawn into Thieves Like Us because they have a brand that is cryptic, meaningful, modern, direct, and appeals to 'alts-who-perceive-themselves-as-authentic.' I think their video for "Drugs in My Body" makes me yearn to identify with their aesthetic. I want to live in 'the city' & have meaningful and/or beautiful relationships/interactions/events/tragedies.

N e ways...their new song/EP called "Your Heart Feels" aligns perfectly with their cryptically meaningful brand. Part of me is tempted to say that their vocal delivery sounds shitty, but the fact that it is different from traditional deliveries makes me feel a little bit more authentic for appreciating it.

Based on what I've heard, they seem to have non-traditional/lofi-ish production techniques, which increases their authenticity level by 10-20%.

The song is a great song about getting vulnerable with some1 u allowed urself to truly luv.
