Just heard of these guys about a month ago. Really smart, really talented, and pretty damn original. The part I like most about this band is their lyricism. Their lyrics aren't especially poetic and sometimes they aren't even rhythmically on tempo with the instrumentation. However, they are very straightforward and very heartfelt. The singer portrays some images that are pretty universal and accessible for most people. Whether he is talking about teenage angst, nostalgia, or just plain old boredom, this guy knows how to speak his mind.
