Wye Oak

I recently came across this guy-girl duo from Maryland.  The style of music is sort of a mix of genres...I would classify it as indie rock with a strong folk influence.  It also has some resemblance to dream pop.  There is quite a lot of atmospheric electric guitar in the background, but there's not much annoying distortion.  After listening to a couple of their albums, I was under the impression it was a full band (with at least 3 members), and I had a hard time believing only two people could make music this intricate.  Then I saw video proof.  It's fairly impressive.  The dude is playing the drums AND the keyboard at the same time. Here's a somewhat mesmerizing video of another song representative of their overall style.
