I actually quite like them
I haven't got their album yet, it's on my shopping list though, but from what songs ive heard on youtube so far they're pretty classy. I can see why people don't get them, they're just not everyone's cup of tea, but if you're into the gloomier side of indie they're a breath of fresh air.
I agree with right-track, some of their guitar lines remind me of Seventeen Seconds and Faith. And i love the electro beats.
