Translator are so, so great. Since discovering them in the early 2000's, I've always thought Heartbeats and Triggers (dark jangle; Scott very OTM with the Feelies comparison) and No Time Like Now (with the goofy but great disco-not-disco single 'Break Down Barriers' and the sublime title track) were top tier american new wave. I even like their nice jangly MOR third album. Evening of the Harvest, I've always thought, was an unfortunate last album. But they had a great run initially.
