These guys are all over the map. There's harmonizing. There're flutes and saxophone. There're big, crunchy, electronic bass beats. There are also pyschedelic, poetic, and vivid lyrics. Keywords to search for: Brooklyn, post-punk, doo wop, electronica, singers who can really sing. I was most surprised by their a cappella/gospel cover of the Pixies song "Mr. Greives." They're currently touring with Franz Ferdinand. Didn't get to see 'em myself, but had a date (with good taste) who said, "Oh, yeah, those guys were good."
Favorite songs:
Staring At The Sun
Mr. Greives
Young Liars
Sattellite
(link to last three songs and some others, behind a 'free trial' registration, so I can't vouch beyond that)
oh, goody! an unreleased song: Dry Drunk Emporer
TV on the Radio
