By the name of the band, I would not listen to the trash.
Interesting coming from a guy who's a big fan of "Steely Dan"... 
You do know what "Steely Dan" is a reference to...right? 
Actually, I'm not a fan of indie rock or pop, but "The New Pornographer"s are not too bad in that realm.
Here's how they got their name -
"The name of the band was chosen by Newman, who has said that he came up with it after watching a Japanese film called The Pornographers"
Great melodies in music still exist. Just not in commercial popular music.
