I only discovered them a few weeks ago myself, though I had heard of them distantly before. (I could be imagining this, but there might even have been a joke about "hipster music nerds" involving them -- something like "X? I assume you mean the band from Sydney. They were much better than the American X," sniffily.) "Present" stuck in my head instantly and has returned intermittently ever since. "GOT A PRESENT IT'S A PRESENT FOR YOU! IT'S IN A GARBAGE BAG!," etc. And I like the mid-'80s stuff too, particularly the track I posted, "Halfway Round the World," though it's not nearly as rough.
