The weird thing I find with The School is that their albums sound really warm and exciting the first couple of times you hear them and then it wears off and they start to sound a bit cringe-worthy and cheesy. I must go back and listen to their albums again though to see f they have any effect on me.
I love indiepop when it's done right, Allo Darlin's self-titled album from 2010 is an example of this and it's one of my favourite albums of this decade so far. Nothing fancy, just simple bittersweet pop songs. I'm a big fan of Camera Obscura and Belle & Sebastian as well.
