Try Kap Bambino if you like Crystal Castles, and you liked Electrelane try the new project from one of their members, Vera November. Oh, and if you think Frightened Rabbit are good, you MUST listen to The Twilight Sad!
the most serene republic
i guess..
Adem
I heard him on the Pitchfork site today, a really sweet folky version of some Aphex Twin songs... He used to be in Fridge with Four Tet

Postal Service- Plastic Operator,
Electric President and for that matter, Trademark
I love "Question Is Complete" off "A Story In White"
Have you heard "Distortion" by The Magnetic Fields?
Or The Gothic Archies "The Tragic Treasury: Songs From A Series Of Tragic Events"?
^ this for teacakes
:)
definately
Youthmovies and
The Attika State
I haven't a vague clue
We live in different universes.
Have you ever heard "Transformer" by Lou Reed? I just love that one and recommend it all the time to everyone.
Or (don't laugh cause I'm serious) West Side Story or Sound of Music?
The Gothic Archies "The Tragic Treasury:Songs From A Series Of Unfortunate Events"
The Magnetic Fields "Distortion"
Nillson "Nillson Schmillson"
Music like this is a good restful haven if you grow weary of your favorites.
hmmm
Loney Dear
SFA
Orange Juice
Smiths
Teardrop Explodes
Silent League
Field Mice
Bon Iver
and for sure
Telstar Ponies "In The Space Of Afew Minutes" Hard to find mebbe. Think Twilight Sad vs Radiohead vs Stereolab
oh
and while I'm at it
Stereolab
These are pretty obvious but...
and ergo you;ve probably got them all already, however judging by the list above:
The Knife (get Silent Shout)
The Blow (Paper Television)
Architecture in Helsinki (In case we die)
!!! (Myth Takes)
Yacht (I Believe in you...)
Dntel (the guy who does all the beats for postal service - get Life is full of possibilities)
Dirty Projectors, yeah
Belgians...
..The Go Find are an excellent stop-gap for anyone pining for some new Postal Service action. Their album from last year 'Stars on the Wall' was missed by nearly (ahem) everyone - go find here:

And the most overlooked belter of '06 was Benoit Pioulard's fab DIY effort 'Precis'. Don't worry, this one's not Belgian (he's from the US and really called Thomas). Hear here:
