One of my favorite bands, well at least their last few albums. They really inspire me because I cant put my finger on their sound; to me they have created something quite unique. They have a knack for being able to use the diminished/augmented chords in a beautiful manner, something I am very fond of when bands can pull it off.

Normally with bands I could say they sound jazzy, or classical based, or bluesy etc. These guys just sound like some alternative rock (which is pretty broad classification anyway) with a dark, melancholy atmosphere.

For the sake of some of you, the singer is a clean singer, no growling/screaming :)
