I've been listening to these two alot recently, Beirut is a band which plays what is described as "Indie Folk" though definatly a great step away from what would be classed as "Indie", they are actually really good, mostly accoustic instruments (and no guitars aparently). Alot of the music is derived from european folk music and is well worth a listen.
