we only wanna just to learn to play guitar“ (walrus)

I would compare them to Grizzly Bear, even if it fits not 100%, but it cames in my mind on first listen. Here are wonderful, athmospheric pop songs, with the warmth of analogue tape recording, multiple voices, electronic gadgets and all the goods that makes a song fine (for me and maybe you).

What keeps in my mind is their love and use of rich and phat sounding saw-tooth synth drones (King Crow, Asleep in the weeds).

The song Happieness is really happieness inducing.

They are on tour right now, so go and see them! Check their myspace! Now!
