The Avett Brothers catalog
I get the impression that the Avett Brothers fall head-over-heels in love with ever girl they ever see, and maybe that's by design and calculated, but they seem to really capture how it feels to dive headfirst into a relationship with someone and how wonderful and messy the results can be.

And what's with the R.E.M. they serve you on airplanes? I don't know whether it's jangle-pop or proto-grunge!

I'd even be OK with it slowing down for a tick with (the very pretty) "Sunloathe," but after that it needs to keep up that sense of…
