To some extent it's written like poppy ska-punk music, but it's played by a fairly large acoustic ensemble that transforms the material into a gorgeous big band/classical/latin/gypsy hybrid. My only complaint is that this is all they've ever released.

My favorite track:
Enjoying the song you posted, I'm going to have to track this EP down.
