Highly under appreciated band in my opinion. They have been around since 2004 and have released 3 albums.
My favourite of theirs:
[b]Audience[/b]

Some of their older stuff:
[b]Hospital Beds[/b]

^^^The piano is actually out of tune in this song making it have that darker sort of sound of course the mixture of minor and major keys also make it sound this way. Works real good with the lyrics.
[b]Hang Me Up to Dry[/b]

[b]We Used to Vacation[/b]

[b]I've Seen Enough[/b]

Their most recent album "Mine is Yours" was released Jan 25th of 2011 and has not been getting very good reviews. Some say they didn't use their more darker subjects in their songs. It sounds a bit more upbeat then their older stuff but there are a couple good songs on it.
[b]Louder than Ever[/b]

[b]Finally Begin[/b] (Best song on album IMO)

Pitchfork has a low opinion of them, thus they aren't hipster.
i only read pitchfork ironically
Love this band, I listen to them quite a lot after reading this thread.
Thanks RusMar :buddy:

are they just hipster as fuck or unable to tune a piano and made up an excuse for it?

Hipster.
I love this band so much. "Hang me up to dry" was the first song I've heard by them, and I was hooked ever since.
