ALT-ROCK
This Austin, Texas, sextet has built up plenty of hipster buzz opening for indie darlings like Arcade Fire. While their major-label debut doesn't scale Kong-size heights, it's a solid, expansive effort, from the sing-along pop of "No More Birthdays" to the new-wave-ish synths of "TV Torso." Using wood blocks, trash cans and a piano bench as instruments to push sonic boundaries, they reel you in on cuts like the hypnotic title track.
