Their from Australia, not Portland. They may be too young too grow beards or have wives, but they are not too young to carve out their space in the sonic, psych guitar rock scene of Australia along with sister band Tame Impala.
SVIIB may be short one half of the twin sister harmonies you grew to love with their first two releases but with some well worked multi-tracking and they have not lost the ability to write amazing songs.

KEXP's Don Slack wrote a mini review of this recent release: "This Brookyn band debuts with an impressive album of atmospheric psych-rock with a dark, hypnotic sound combining reverbed guitars, eerie keyboards, druggy rhythms, stern lead vocals, stately harmonies, dreamy melodies and anthemic choruses."
