I enjoy hearing their ethereal melodies backed by incongruous hip hop beats. I haven't heard such lovely and listenable sounds from the idm stable in a long time. Their work has a lovely, warm, lo-fi analogue feel. I love to hear elements of hip hop and funk minus the samples that plague the 'trip' hop genre. I couldn't explain in academic terms what their appeal is, and I agree with you that they're certainly overhyped. However, I know two things: I really like the way their songs sound, and I haven't heard anything else that sounds like them.
