The band Menomena is a trio from Portland with an interesting style. One of the members wrote a computer program called Digital Loop Recorder, which allows them to layer and loop short riffs to build a track. The results sound great. Although the drum tracks don't always seem to mix well with the other instruments (here, I mean mix in a production sense), this may be what the band intended. Among my favorite tracks are "Muscle'n Flo", "The Pelican", "Air Aid", and "Weird." This list is not intended to suggest that the latter part of the album is less amazing. I just haven't learned the names of those songs.
Below is the Sesame Street clip of Mah Na Mah Na (which is a song that originally appeared in a porno from the 1970s). Read more about Menomena on their Wikipedia entry here.
