The curiously named Knyfe Hyts have the market cornered on deranged cartoon-themed sludge. With members of Ex-Models, Oneida, and Pterodactyl, the band fluctuates between errant freakouts and more cohesive drone grooves, playing out some strange high-school fantasy about Black Sabbath and animal costumes. Deerhunter headline, playing songs you've surely heard by now, what with the leaked mp3s sourced from frontman Bradford Cox's blog.
