What are some French music artists in the vein of Tryo, Vincent Delerm, Grand Corps Malade, Ogres de Barback and Benabar?

The question asks it all. I really like French music, and am looking for more artists in this style. Thanks so much!

You're looking for artists in the "nouvelle scene francaise," to give you a term to google. Just googling it came up with this link: http://nouvellescene.canalblog.com/ , which should give you some new names. Assuming you speak French.
