The Polyphonic Beatles?

Yesterday, I was listening to the single for "Soldier Girl," by the Polyphonic Spree, on my iPod. Not a bad disc, featuring four well-composed pop/rock songs.

But am I the only one who thinks the Spree sounds a LOT like the Sgt. Pepper's-era Beatles? Featuring a lush, orchestral sound, multi-multi-track recording, and the use of many different instruments, particularly percussion, the Spree create a dream-like sound, which seems to harken back to the height of the Beatles' psychodelic period.

Not that this is a bad thing, necessarily. It's just interesting, so to speak.
