Absolutely one of my favorite bands going now, at the moment. One of the few bands I know from the sound collage genre of constructing most songs out of clips/samples. I think what they do is absolutely ingenious.

Very bizarre, unique, intelligently funny band. Somewhat satirical/political but nicely subtle, too. Broadly covering topics that range from nuclear war to the commercialization of music to the commercial world in general. It doesn't get in the way of the nicely unique tone, and often shockingly songlike compositions.

Anybody else here like em?
