I've been listening to Okkervil River quite a bit recently. I love the off-key singing of the absolutely astounding lyrics. Stuff like: "I want a smile like a glistening shard. I want a kiss that's as sharp as a knife."
It sounds lame when I write it here, but if you hear "A Hand To Take Hold Of The Scene" on The Stage Names you will understand what I mean. In a certain way, the writing kind of reminds me of The Smiths, especially Strangeways. They are definitely worth checking out.
