Because they're all imaginative, inventive and believe they're doing great things.
But yes, they all pretend they're "just making pop music." Thom Yorke said something along the lines of--Radiohead makes pop music and nothing else--after they released Kid A, and Win Butler always insists Arcade Fire only make pop music. I mean, that's cool and all, but Arcade Fire feature the ****ing hurdy-gurdy, so I take their "modesty" less than seriously.
They all know what they strive to do, and it's refreshing, not something to be ashamed of.
But LA Ex was apparently a moderate hit in some places outside the UK (not here tho).
