But I guess they've all been in other somewhat successful bands, just not in this exact genre, so I wouldn't have known who they were beforehand.  Kinda like Nik's cobbled together Space Gypsy band, that turned out to be a great blanga backing band.  Anyway, Electric Eye has kind of a Spaceman 3/Spiritualized sort of vibe going on, as well as the powerpsych rock element.  And then Tangerine sounds like a ripoff of Tea Party* ripping off Led Zeppelin's Kashmir, and then given the track title, maybe it's no wonder.
