The Minders
 

Ex-members from Apples in Stereo formed this but left later on. I have two of their albums, Hooray for Tuesday being my favorited. They're great 60s inspired indie-pop and sadly should get more recognition then they do. They're on Elephant Six. The songs on their myspace aren't the best but last.fm has a full track.

Recommendations:
Hooray For Tuesday
Frida
Don't You Stop
Yeah Yeah Yeah

I have 3 of their albums. Not sure if that's the whole catalog.

Almost, there's five.

I have "Cul-De-Sacs and Dead Ends"
Which I haven't listened to in ages

I distinctly remember that this band generally puts me in a good mood though
