The Octopus Project have an enchanting little happy indie guitar pop single out as part of Too Pure's singles club. I'm kind of reminded of Stereolab although this is definitely out on its own. There's an ample smattering of electronics too. On second listen I actually think 'Wet Gold' is a pleasant feel good tune. Perfect for the hot weather we're currently experiencing. I must play this to Brain. I think he might dig it.

What their label says...
Originating from Austin, Texas, electronic indie quartet The Octopus Project fuse together feel good summer pop and sublime experimentation with ease. Their first release outside of America sees the band combine their digital hallelujahs of previous albums (c/o US label Peek-A-Boo) with full on rock-out guitar action (‘Moon Boil’) and dare we say it, effortlessly ethereal vocals (‘Wet Gold’).
“…Smart pop scientists and total party animals, like Stereolab with happy feet” – Rolling Stone
“…Cyberspace’s ultimate guilt-free party band” – Pitchfork
