Eugh. They're alright as a sort of novel angle on folk for a couple of listens, after which they quickly begin to grate. It's annoying, because Dawson and Green are both actually quite talented.
They're just a fad band at the end of the day, and this fad seemingly re-spawns every year as new, younger listeners stumble upon and them identify the whole thing as this statement of kooky individualisation for a year or so. I'm quite sure this applied to me at one stage in my late teens.
