    A recent discovery (via the fantastic blog indiepassion) is The Middle East, a quintet from Australia. A quick-comparison would be Patrick Watson, the Montreal group specializing in atmospheric and dreamy folk-pop whose third album will be out in April. American Football comes to mind, too.

    I'm an extremely adept Googler, but there's very little available about the unsigned band online; no Wiki page, no official site, just a MySpace. The album is out of print and impossible to purchase legally, so here's the link. Check it out. Girl-boy harmonies, twinkly pianos, whistling. It's sweeping and rich, moody and ambient. Buzz word buzz word. Buzzword. Buzzzzzzzzz.
