One more:

Air France - They're a little-known Swedish group that combines pop, balearic and magic. Their music is purely gorgeous: swirling, dreamy, layered. But it's not infused with noise like, say, shoegaze. It's clean and possesses traditional pop aesthetic. It's just amazing. Their On Trade Winds EP might be the most perfect album/EP I've ever heard (and I've listened to quite a bit). Every track is bright, evocative, lovely and full of great beats. I could write an essay on just that EP (but I won't here). They also have an album called No Way Down which is also amazing and beautiful. Suffice it to say, I like them a lot.

Air France - Beach Party
