Edited my post to add specific songs to check out btw if you aren't familiar with their music.

Nath, I'm a lot more of the school of "let people enjoy what they want to enjoy" rather than turning everyone into Sufjan Stevens [censored]-munchers.

Ah. See, I am both pretentious and arrogant enough to assume my tastes are better than other people's and that they will enjoy what I recommend them more than they enjoy what they're listening to now.

I don't look at it as being condescending, though; I actually enjoy turning people onto new music. Plus, while I have a personal affinity for certain styles, I like anything and everything that's good, so if someone likes a particular style, I usually have something I can turn them on to.

Still listening to the myspace Keyser linked... this "Under Control" song reminds me of something the Arcade Fire or Andrew Bird might do.

If you guys are curious as to what I'm up to musically... I'm going to see Jens Lekman tomorrow (album of the year AINEC) and then Art Brut and The Hold Steady on Friday.

All of these bands are worth everyone's time.

Also, check out Black Kids here. Only four songs so far but they're all dynamite.

Keyser:

If you liked The Postal Service, check out Cut Copy. Solid album all the way through. Doesn't really fit the indie rock mold tho.

Dirty Pretty Things and Hot Hot Heat might be more the sound you're looking for. Older, but kinda slept on.

Then there's The Strokes which I'm sure you've had your fill of, but I can go back to pretty much whenever.

I'd also encourage everyone to check out Chromeo if you can get with Retro 80's Electro Pop type stuff. Really solid duo.

They're fun as [censored] live, too, as are the Hold Steady (one of the few bands I will see anywhere, anytime, under any circumstances). I might not even drink at Jens Lekman just to be prepared to get totally housed on Thursday.

Not sure if this is the same sort of thing but I really like Glass Candy and Chromatics.
