cannot believe amy recommended the middle east. they're this tiny band from country town townsville in australia. absolutely amazing music. had the privelige of seeing them live a couple of months ago, i'd say definately worth checking out! www.myspace.com/visitthemiddleeast
angus & julia stone- silver coin the national- slow show fleet foxes- your protector or tiger mountain peasant song sia the dodos shearwater joshua radin
Current fave is Au revoir Simone's "Still Night. Still Light"
Also love: Luke Top - "Friends", Noir Desir - "Le vent nous portera", Anything by Kaiser Cartel and Slow Club's 'Christmas TV". Oh and I really love St. Vincent's 'Marry me John". ahhh.
OH I love good music! Nataly Dawn + Jack Conte = stellar music for your listening pleasure! They're both amazing on their own, but they've formed a duo known as Pomplamoose which Chris and I are in love with these days. The videos they've done are wonderful!

Sorry for an immediate subsequent comment, but I thought it'd be easier to include links, esp. since "Darlings" is un-Googleable when you're searching for a band.

I am enjoying Edward Sharpe + the Magnetic Zeros.
It's also fun to watch Take Away Shows.

I second Jamie's Take Away Shows idea. They're extremely fun to watch and some of the videos are quite beautifully done.

Nobunny
Darlings
Box Elders
Okmoniks
I love all of these bands right now, but I highly recommend Nobunny if you're into super fun and catchy garage.
