you can download one of their best tunes, The Funeral here. Or just stream it. It doesn't kick in for 90 seconds, but hold on.

Similarities to Shins:
-both bands came about from an earlier group with the same guys
-both bands have a song named after a saint on their latest long player.

Similarities to Modest Mouse:
-Pacific Northwesterners
-Loud/Soft sounds

Similarities to My Morning Jacket:
-Treble tone voice (see track 8 from Everything All The Time and anything from MMJs At Dawn release).

Grade: 88. This one'll be on my top ten list, you just watch. Looking forward to catching them at the Parish June 25th. For it I'm delaying my move out of Austin a couple days.
