Hey y'all - i'm looking really specifically for what i'd probably best describe as 'smooth hipster indie with folk and/or electronica influence' - and the best examples i have would be on this playlist:

Sea Wolf – You're a Wolf
Yeasayer – 2080
The Sea and Cake – Weekend
Animal Collective – My Girls
Frightened Rabbit – I Feel Better
BSS Presents Brendan Canning - Hit The Wall
School of Seven Bells – Iamundernodisguise
Tortoise – TNT
Plants and Animals – Feedback in the Field

really, i'm intrigued by the 'scene' that this stuff comes out of (although i'm aware its not a geographic scene) - this effortlessly cool indie pop has really got me wanting more! anyone got some tracks/albums for me to listen to?

hope you guys can help me, as so far my normal ports of call are failing me. :)

Eric Prydz - Call on Me:

great song.

there's one by a band called "Stardust" called "The Music Sounds Better With You" which isn't as epic, but is from a similar era and is also amazingly dance-catchy

Some bands: Ruby Suns, Grizzly Bear, Deerhunter, Fleet Foxes, Beach House, Women, Department of Eagles, Panda Bear, Bon Iver, Caribou/Manitoba, High Places...

OR I could recommend Pitchfork.

hey thanks - i've actually played support to the Ruby Suns when they came through my town. :) I've added Women, Department of Eagles, and High Places to my rotation.

Anyways, more suggestions would be very welcome.
