From new album "Wild One" (2011) It's out now.

"Wild One by North Highlands is rather coherent in its overall sound, but as a result not every song is entirely memorable on the first listen. There are, however, many moments that really stick out, mostly in the form of catchy choruses, magnificent bridges and fetching riffs. The instrument layering — of guitars, strings, piano, synth sounds, various percussion instruments, mandolin, bass, different background vocals, etc. — as well as nontraditional song structures are quite impressive, especially for a debut album. The strong presence of intertwining melodies in multi-layered, minorly grandiose songs might make this a music that a lot of people won't "get" unless they put in the effort to appreciate all of the elements involved. North Highlands' music seems like it would be accessible to fans of Arcade Fire, St. Vincent and Andrew Bird, who, though still somewhat dripping with indie nuances, have all enjoyed increasing popularity with mainstream crowds; however, if people get to know North Highlands, they should have no trouble finding their own place in the sun."
