Plus, they just have silly song titles, which I respect.

Minus the Bear, they're one of my favorites !
I don't know if I'd describe them with the electronic flair, I guess I never looked at them with that. They are a definitely laid back band and don't go looking if you want serious, introspective lyrics. If I had to compare them with similar sounding band, possibly I'd go with presidents of the united states of america, maybe.
One of my favorite songs in general (well, at least, I've been playing it like hell in the past year or so) is their tune 'absinthe party at the fly honey warehouse' - talking about the band [or americas] traveling around in europe, drinking, frolicing, and having a good time...
I have only listened to the 'highly refined pirates' album [which i recommend], I did have the menso el... one, lost that in a HD crash :/
catcha back on the flipside,
will.
