Any new bands that are mindblowing?

fleet foxes. they are my band of the moment. first album is superb. exquisite harmonies.
 
I've been looking for Fitz & the Tantrums' "Songs for a Breakup, Vol. 1" -- I've been able to find their second disc, "Pickin' Up the Pieces," really dig it. Ambitious for a non-electronic pop act to forego using guitars. I like what I'm hearing, hoping to get more into them.
 
I was very impressed by The Aftermath, who I saw in a Festival setting yesterday. They're not new, an Irish band on the go a few years, but new to me. Sample songs are up on their website - http://www.myspace.com/theaftermathband . When I looked them up after, I found that they've regularly covered There Is A Light That Never Goes Out e.g. [youtube]gUcUOJ8JInA&feature=related[/youtube]
 
I also don't really know how you define "new" exactly, but one of the best bands of the last 5 years anyways, is definitely The Antlers.
