The Tourist Company

This alternative pop-rock band out of Vancouver, BC, has a really nice, orchestral sound, with a formidable array of instruments in use on different songs.  The lead singer sounds a bit like Ben Gibbard of Death Cab; the style of music is less whimsical, at times sounding like straightforward alt-rock (similar to Side Saddle, for example), and at other times sounding like synth-heavy 80s pop.  They have managed to span a lot of different styles and recent periods of music pretty successfully, in my opinion.  Their recent LP is actually available for free on noisetrade; give it a listen.
