* CoveredUp: "Failsafe" was a minor track off their 2007 album "Challengers". Later that year, it was covered by choir group "The Choir Practice" and said cover was eventually used in the WesternAnimation/MoralOrel episode, "Dumb", which bookended the episode and ended up eclipsing the original as a result.

* EarWorm: Every single song of theirs, but "Letter From an Occupant" and "Sing Me Spanish Techno" (which even discusses this trope in its lyrics!) are the main offenders.

** "My Rights Versus Yours" is about a divorce, and the mid-'60s Music/BrianWilson sound evokes a wistful mood. Hell, nearly all of ''Challengers'' is a TearJerker in one way or another.

Added DiffLines:

* ViewerGenderConfusion: Dan Bejar sounds quite feminine in certain songs, primarily "Myriad Harbour" and "Jackie, Dressed in Cobras," to the point where some [=YouTube=] comments have assumed it's Neko or Kathryn singing.
