They made brilliant music (chaotically catchy melodies and brainy stream-of-consciousness lyrics) in the 90s, and heavily influenced every indie band you like. I suggest starting with Brighten the Corners (the most immediately enjoyable one).
Thanks for posting, the three songs I’ve listened to so far have been very enjoyable! (The video for Va Fangool gets, err, a little out of hand towards the end, haha!)
The Shins, Vampire Weekend, Fleet Foxes. I have no idea if you’ll like them, I don’t know how to properly recommend music but I can’t stop listening to these.
I like Vampire Weekend, but from what I’ve heard (most of their first two albums), their songs all sound very very similar to me. I thought A-Punk was amazing when it was released first, but I got a little discouraged by each subsequent single, because I felt I was just hearing A-Punk again.
Oxford Comma is a great song though, and the video by Richard Ayoade is a nice bonus.
I’m not sure that they’re that similar, there are a good number that share the sound but they have different melodies and everything, and that’s only a certain number of the songs. And I really like the style anyway, so I don’t mind.

Pavement.

Nephew)
Very entertaining lyrics from a Danish band. Watch the video for Va Fangool, it’s pretty fun.

Yeah, it’s the similar sounds and arrangements that brought me to this conclusion. I’d still listen to them though.
Horchata (Vampire Weekend) is one of my favorite songs, as is Montezuma (Fleet Foxes). Not very familiar with The Shins.
I’ve been watching Patient Zero a lot., I like the song “Upgrade Me Deeper”, particularly:).
