I will check them out. As you probably can guess, I am old-fashioned in regard to pop music. I grew up in the 1960s, and I was still young during the 1970s, so I am "stuck" in that time period to a major extent (and loving it). That is the reason I am ignorant of much of the contemporary music scene.
Their first album came out in 2010, their 2nd (which has been nominated for a Grammy) came out in 2012. They're from Perth, Australia. It's mainly one guy (Kevin Parker) who is like the Bono of the band, and he's got a semi-loose collection of other people who help him record and play on the road.

This song should be a good one to get you started. Give it a few listens. Then, check out a few more in the Tame Impala link I gave above.
