Jonquil and We Aeronauts (maybe)
http://www.myspace.com/jonquiluk
http://www.myspace.com/weaeronauts
Wow, Jonquil are wonderful
I really need to listen to more new music.
Exactly
This is exactly what i want to know! I'm quite into Bon Iver at the moment which is folky and more basic but still a great listen. Also maybe check out Mumford and sons who are quite good and up and coming. Nothing really comes close to the briliance of Beirut though!
mumford
are pretty amazing i think!
^
mumford and sons "white blank page" is beautiful. thanks everyone for all these suggestions.
Maybe Devotchka
but definitely A Hawk and a Hacksaw. Maybe Final Fantasy too.
Yann Tiersen
devotchka!
yes.

my friend described them as "Beirut meets Madness"
they were great. cool instrumentation and gang singalongs
I think you should
listen to Fanfarlo
http://www.myspace.com/spodnipradlo
it's good. i really like the 2nd and 3rd song.
Gossamer Ambleton
I presume it hasnt already been mentioned
because it's too obvious or something but Neutral Milk Hotel, of course
The Excuses
off point slightly but Jens Lekman, love his instrumentation
more jazzy direction - Madeleine Peyroux
cheers for Gossamer link, really enjoy :)
Alaska in Winter
