Filligar: Near or Far

Three brothers (Teddy, Pete, and Johnny) and their friend (Casey) make up the indie band, Filligar. These Chicago natives currently in college in New Hampshire and New York already have 4 albums under their belts; their most recent, Near or Far, released in late 2008.
Casey describes their sound as "a little like MGMT meets Wilco meets The Rolling Stones." Can't go wrong there, eh?
A quick search on the internets, and it's easy to see these guys have a good-sized loyal following. Listening to their previous work, you can hear a nice progression and maturity in their sound and lyrics. There's no lack of musicianship or energy here.
Some stand-out tracks off Near or Far, "No I Won't" and "Lot Six" being my favorites:
