HMD Guest Series: Larth Vader "Summertime Finds"
I found Texas-based Khruangbin after they played here in LA last summer and fell in love with their thai-funk/surf rock sound. I think I've listened to The Universe Smiles Upon You at least 100x in the past year. Check out White Gloves, or, for more dance-y sounds, People Everywhere (Still Alive) is great. They recently released Con Todo El Mundo in late January. If you're also in LA, they're playing a few shows in Highland Park March 22, 23 and 24.
