The thread title made me immediately think of the Vulgar Boatmen and the Volebeats. But those are 90s bands and it seems you want NOW music. If you are cool with the 90s then check out "Drive Somewhere" (http://youtu.be/kop24gtlS8o) and "Somewhere in my heart" (http://youtu.be/NkcnwNdw3tU).

Whoa whoa, if anyone is cool with 90s music I'm your guy.

By the way Vulgar Boatmen are incredible, thanks so much!

Oh man I am just now hearing Wild Nothing and it's hitting a sweet spot for me. Loved the last Real Estate record, too.

Yeah definitely! Just a thought- I was listening to "Shadow" by Wild Nothing and the orchestration gives me a fuzzy Clientele kind of feeling. I like the maturity in the sound of the best of these bands. Maybe it's the lack of angst.

2013 albums in this vein that are doing it for me:
Ducktails (Real Estate offshoot, so no surprise)Kurt Vile (I think he fits, no?)

I think I like the earlier Ducktails stuff better, but never gave that new full band stuff much of a chance either. Kurt Vile definitely applies to me. Very much like that new one.

Timely topic as every year I try to compile clean, wistful guitar pop into a spring mix. Great sunny day driving music.

'Ivy Covered House' off the Ducktails album is the song of the year so far IMO.

Real Estate debuted some new tracks for their hometown crowd in Ridgewood on Sunday. It sounds really great to me but I am too big of a fan to fairly critique it.

Ha! It was supposed to be at the bandshell in the park by the library (like last year) but ominous weather reports forced them to relocate to the middle school. Glenn Mercer Band opened.

Sorry I didn't give any heads up- I found out it was happening day-of via brooklynvegan
