This is the type of song I could dance crazy to. It's sexy while being classy.
The bass has a very sensual tone about it and vocalist has hints of seduction in his voice.
Fader
Love Lost
Hearts
Sirens
Soldier On
Hearts isn't the most vocally impressive I just claim it for the instruments.

Fader is forgettable because I have forgotten it since yesterday.
Love Lost is amazing. Decent lyrics, beautiful riff (Phoenix-esque), cool vocals, lovely melodies overall. Worth a download/purchase for sure.
Hearts is actually Franz Ferdinand-ish. I enjoy it, although Dougy Mandagi's vocals certainly don't have the charisma of Alex Kapranos'. I really love the middle 8.
The chord progression of Sirens makes it come off as a mediocre version of Sweet Disposition.
Soldier On is gorgeous.
Overall I think they are an also-ran indie alt band, a bit of an aggregate of FF, Phoenix and MGMT. They're derivative but of course they produced one of the best songs of the last few years with "Sweet Disposition."
