As it turns out they do have a quite distinctive sound, nothing standard about it, but I'm afraid they are still somehow to indie/alternative-sounding for my tastes (although I can't quite put my finger on what elements make me think so). But once again, thanks for the tip!

Animal Collective has done such a wide variety of stuff I'd be willing to bet there's
something in their corpus you'd be able to get into.
Acoustic "freak folk"-type stuff, here with Vashti Bunyan singing. Really cute song.
And their space-age sound.
But following up on Surrel's point above, I'd encourage many listens of The Smile Sessions.
