See that's one of the things I like so much about funeral: it's got a trippy, layered sauce of ambient magic poured over scrappy livingroom rock, from the 1st big droning, echoey piano notes (juxtaposed so marvelously against the mischievous/playfully twinkling background figure), I'm in a trance until the strings fade endlessly out on learning to drive
Especially enjoy the amateurish drumming which I think sets them apart from the quantized, cut/paste MacBook Pro, fake/sterile rhythm sections found in the endless indie copycats
