Faboulousssssssssssssssss. I don't believe such thing can exist, {+/-}, pronounce plus minus, is doing rock with a touch of electro and demonstrate how Radiohead's Idiotheque has been consumed and digested by a new generation. I'm hunting for the album details right now !
If you like ambient rock like Mogwai or Mono, "This will destroy you" is made for you. They originate from Texas and have released Young Mountain last year on Magic Bullet Records.
Australian singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Xavier Rudd is a one of a kind artist with a clear vision, personality, and an independent attitude. It's a one man band, but he plays guitar, , didgeridoos, stomp boxes, djembe drums, and even slide banjo. Intersting Mix! His 6th record, called Food in the Belly is out on Anti.

The Go Find, a Belgian that has listened to Day One and similar electro pop.

My favourite is "The Killing", a song that stay at the borderline, that you want to jump on it but never comes. Go and buy it!
Je Suis France sounds like what I played when I was young ! Power Pop Rock or something like that. Pavement is surely one of the main influence there. Check out California rules to be convinced !
