An amazing indie band. Oh, Inverted World was their first success, and the follow-up Chutes Too Narrow was revered by indie fans and critics alike. They have just released Wincing the Night Away, which while IMO is not quite as good as Chutes Too Narrow, is still a lot better than almost all other music out there today.
It really pisses off people who have been listening to them for quite a while that they're getting so popular with posers who like to latch onto semi-indie bands (the same tragic thing happened with Death Cab for Cutie). The movie Garden State is mostly to blame for this, although shows like the OC and Grey's Anatomy have been ruining good bands for quite some time now.
