i don't think so dude. clap your hands stands out for me. yeah, they are reminiscent of lots of other indie bands but that's always the case. like i can get a bit of a neutral milk hotel feel from them and they've been compared to yo la tango, but there is definitely something unique here. maybe its that voice, all moaning and whiney i love it. but I think it is also their creativity that stands out. like in "Clap Your Hands!" that **** rocks.
pitchfork says that that song is an example of "synthesizing these influences into a sound that's uniquely their own." sooo, yeah lots of influences in there, but definitely a unique sound. at least for me. if you're not into it oh well.
