It's like the post before, christian related indie music (that means nothing). I like the quirky music, I like the weird falsetto singing and the psychedelic parts. It's fun!

Daniel's quirky songwriting and the family teamwork may prompt references to the Shaggs, but musically the Famile is far more accomplished. Being devout Christians, there are religious undercurrents to every track. Make no mistake, though, because these folks are miles from the stuff that comes to mind whenever you hear the words 'contemporary Christian music.' Their sound lies closer to the Pixies or They Might Be Giants. Daniel regularly sings his unique lyrics in a shocking falsetto that sometimes recalls Black Francis, Jad Fair, and Daniel Johnston.
