Similar to High Highs, Low Roar, etc. Honestly haven't given the whole album a full listen yet, but this song is great.

Future of Forestry
You may already have some of their Christmas music floating around, but their latest LP is pretty solid. Some instant favorites are "As It Was", "Would You Come Home", and "You". (BTW, the video below isn't official.)

Finally, out next month! Been waiting for this one for a while. It won't disappoint.

BEHOLD, this dreamer!
June 2012
Kinda got hooked on these guys with their first album.
Their albums grow better with repeated listening.
Try "Gentle Hands" and "Letters to Catherine"

Threadbare, Brother - When Summer Comes Again
Wanted to repost this song, my current favorite of the summer. I love the lyrics...
There is a spirit in the woods
A sound that few have understood
Pen at his wood carved flute
and the nymph at her hair-strung lute
I stay all afternoon
Greet the rising of the moon
Grow whiskers on my chin
When summer comes again
There is a vision in a book
A sight that many have forsook
the druid is crouching by the sea
cradling the once and future king
I read the words out loud
stepping behind the shroud
A hope that words can mend
When summer comes again
There is a darkness in the sky
the windows were open all last night
the clouds are crying out in pain
Im waiting on the sound of rain
Standing at the screen door
knowing I never wanted more
The creature can keep his sins
When summer comes again

Michael Moller
A Month of Unrequited Love
May 2011
Lead singer from Moi Caprice.
He released one song a day for a month then combined them as this album. They all deal with unrequited love in one way or another so try not to kill yourself ... naturally this is a great album.
Amateur live version of "In Memory of My Feelings"
Cover "Where the Wind Blows"
"As You Walk Away"

Where We Meet
Feb 2012
Really enjoyed this song so decided to post it.
Overall, the album is a little too mainstream "Pop-y" for me to fit in the singer/songwriter/indie category. However, there are other decent songs on it - "Where We Meet", "You Still Love Me",...
Belarus
Communicate
2008
Stumbled across these guys the other day... very good album, not a single miss on it for me.
Unfortunately, they have already disbanded so this is all we'll get.

The Naked And Famous
These guys sound like a blend between MGMT and M83 and maybe a little Gypsy and the Cat. The first song sounds more like MGMT and the second song sounds more like M83. Definitely a feel good Spring band.

Youth Lagoon
Saw these guys live last night. Pretty amazing. Watch the first video all the way through as his style is to pick up more towards the end of his songs.

Benjamin Francis Leftwich
Wow. Finally just listening to Benjamin Francis Leftwich even though I've had him in my iTunes since November. Halfway through the album so far and every single song gets a 5 star rating. This guy knows how to write songs. Gives me the chills. Amazing filming too. Great find Scott.

You guys might have this already but I finally stumbled on it...
This is definitely one of their best. Top of my track list for my pre-work 5:30AM jog.
"Gratitude" - great lyrics
Burned this one out ...

Happy Particles
Excellent debut album from Scottish group. Sample review...
THE SCOTSMAN/RADAR
'You could float on this album for days, allowing its gorgeous melodies to wrap themselves around your head and soothe your tired mind. You could listen to it on repeat and find something new catching your ear each time - there are rich levels of detail, but nothing which ever feels forced or superfluous. It is - well, there's that word once more - stunning.'
