I want new groups that some-what revolve around the sound of the groups listed. But I am open to entirely new sounds, sort of not as known groups.
I'd put Modest Mouse and Fleet Foxes into more of a folksy category. For those two, I'd recommend Snowmine, The Head and the Heart, maybe The Shins (earlier stuff?). I don't have much overlap with the other bands in your list, but the band Temples is pretty new and they definitely have a Beatles-esque sound.
