It's a very grown up sounding band.
It's a very grown up & reconciled protagonist singing with no force, no pressure, no "emoting".
Idioms are different between The Empire & Downunder but the meanings are clear, clean and uncluttered.
I listened again after reading Nigel's comment. I think the words are spaced, stacked & spread in a very conversational way & that, to my ears, is the vibe: someone speaking their heart.
