When Tim DeLaughter was playing in 1990s alt-rock band Tripping Daisy, few could have predicted that a decade later he would mastermind the Polyphonic Spree. A huge collective wearing white robes and utilized massed choral vocals, the Polyphonic Spree is a high-concept endeavor that mixes lush Beatles/Beach Boys arrangements with positive lyrical messages so earnest it's difficult to tell whether or not there's irony involved. Regardless, their infectiously sunny, melodic sound made them an unexpected sensation with the indie-rock cognoscenti and the mainstream alike.

Listen to Polyphonic Spree at Finetune.
