Calvin's voice is hardly twee, though. Which creates a nice tension with the lyrical concerns, which can be on the twee side.
Dub Narcotic were always more my speed. There's always the immortal couplet: "1994/Fuck shit up some more!" Ye-ah.
(My favorite ever Calvin Johnson TV interview is the one he gave Toby amies in ...1994 was it? He was wearing these ridiculous oversized red mittens with snowflakes on them, and he answered every one of Toby's questions with stone-walling, monotone monosyllables. It was hysterical. Or was it obnoxious? It's a fine line.)
