"The opposite is fiction": The Essex Green - Cannibal Sea

Sprightly, elegant, 60s-infused pop that sets its camp up somewhere between the classic revivalist tent and some strong folk- and power-pop streams, though my favourite is the distinctly Stereolab-y "Cardinal Points", complete with minute-and-a-bit-long guitar wig-out ending ("This Isn't Farm Life" and "Snakes in the Grass" are also particularly rad). It's a good record - not a weak song to be seen, plenty of likeable melodies (it reminds me a bit of the Fiery Furnaces at points, too).
