Folk rock

For example, the reliably excellent Scottish-Canadian superband The Burns Unit
(I recommend their songs Trouble, Helpless to Turn, Since We've Fallen Out, Future Pilot A.K.C, and the best one, Blood, Ice and Ashes)
Also, try Belle and Sebastian
(Lord Anthony, Asleep on a Sunbeam, I'm a Cuckoo, and my favourite, Step Into My office Baby - a song about sexual harassment, with some of the best euphemisms I've ever heard. Or maybe it's my dirty teenage mind.)
