I highly recommend Surfer Blood, and although I do not know how to talk about music, all I can say is that they sound like their name. How great is that? 
Have One On Me is really spectacular. I wasn't as crazy for it as I thought I would be, but it quickly grew on me. What I find extremely beautiful, and what Newsom does so well, is how she captures the feel of the northern California landscape, “I was tired of being drunk/ my face cracked like a joke./ So I swung through here/ like a brace of jackrabbits/ with their necks all broke”. By far, my favorite song has to be "Good Intentions Paving Company". How can you not love it with lyrics like these, “I did not mean to shout, Just drive,/ just get us out, dead or alive./ the road is too long to mention--/Lord, it’s something to see!--/ laid down by the Good Intentions Paving Company." I mean, right?
You can listen to that song here:
Finally, there's Charlotte Gainsbourg. Take my word for it, it's good. 'Nough said.
