I'm somewhat surprised that nobody has mentioned this album yet, which released yesterday. I think that
Pitchfork has a pretty good review of the album. This is just gorgeous pop music. I would think that anybody who likes The Shins would enjoy this album. I keep hearing a lot of similarities between the two...fun songs with nice harmonies. Lead singer Stuart Murdoch has a lot of James Mercer (of The Shins) and a little Kevin Max in his voice. Very nice pop album.
