Folk is Back - and it's a Girl(s)

So this is not my typical of my more recent musical persuasions, but I read about this Brooklyn based quintet on The Deli NY. and I am really digging the combination of resurrected folk rock and (what I would deem) pseudo new wave, with a just a sprinkle of indie.
Bern & the Brights is able to capture a unique sound without sounding too contrived.
Hints of Bowie, Dylan, Pat Benetar, PJ Harvey (they cite her as a reference) and Karen O (from Yeah Yeah Yeahs) pepper the diversified tracks and create a likable stratification of sound.
