Thoughts becoming her
Mean on, let it
When our lips come together
I come over
Wake up notices you made it
Beauty, baby
When our lips come together
I get, older
If you're lucky, you might already know Wye Oak, perhaps from their outstanding 2011 album and single "Civilian". If you're not lucky, he's your opportunity to win. "Spiral" one of two terrific songs they put out in September will give you an idea of their sound.

You could be another face that I forget soon as I move along
Everybody makes mistakes; am I mistaken for the way I carry on?
You could show a little grace, but maybe things just went a bit too far
We are just who we are; no time for "what if"s and "what if not"s

Oh, I'm counting all the numbers between zero and one
Happy, but a little lost

Kick my shoes off and run (run, we'll be running barefoot)
Kick my shoes off and run
Kick my shoes off and
There's a hard edge to the indie electronic pop made by LA band Sir Sly that reminds me very much of Foster the People. They took a few years between their debut and sophomore albums, but if you hadn't heard of them before, you probably heard first single off this (2nd) album, "High" on alt radio all summer - it hovered around the number 2 spot for 19 weeks!

I was so glad to catch Kiriyama Family's full set. We walked in at the tail end of one of their shows and I was pulled in by their sophisticated-yet-groovy 80's sound, so made a plan to catch them the next day. It was a great plan. They're terrific and I'm hoping they'll make their way stateside soon. SXSW? They seem like they'd be a perfect fit.
