A blog I read that rarely mentions music recommended a Philadelphia
group called Brown Recluse Sings. A bunch of nerdy young kids that
make some namecheck the Shins, Page France & even the Zombies (?),
but to my ears sound like a softer Hang Ups, in a good way.

4 songs on myspace, of which I like "Western Meadowlark" best:

Now I didn't know who Page France were either - person or group?
Group from Maryland, not as interesting IMO. Their 4 songs:
