(The video looks like it was put together by emogirl, but the music is good, note: this song wins the award for Best Use of Cowbell)
I heard about Joel Alme through some article in pitchfork last year. If you like Jens Lekman and other Swedish/Danish artists, I think Joel Alme might just do it for you.
His debut album A Master of Ceremonies is full of tight (and sometimes grand) pop songs, complete with orchestra and a straightforward, retroish-sounding production. Joel himself is a solid singer (and lyricist) and his voice has that classic Dylan-Van Morrison-Cohen quality to it.
Anyway, give his other songs on youtube a go and see what you think.
