I am a massive fan of this kind of retro-pop goodness. Not so big on the rest of the Elephant 6 crew (except for early Of Montreal), and I've already been down the Belle & Sebastian road.
Let me know what else I'm missing out on!
Here are two of my favorite songs to give you an idea:
The Essex Green - The Late Great Cassiopia
The Minders - Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

oh man, this is my question
the hidden cameras death of a tune
sloan's "twice removed" or "navy blues" albums (both perfect albums, couldn't even tell u where to start)
the rebels of tijuana's latest album "asilde" is fab (although entirely in french)... start with "erotique".
bikeride "fakin' amnesia"
early los campesinos like "you, me, dancing"
evil wiener (aka the best band ever with the worst name ever) - "billy sugarfix's lost gumdrop kingdom" (that's their entire 2nd lp because it's amazing)
sarah dougher "everywhere west"
billie the vision and the dancers "summercat"
dreamdate "make it last"
henri faberge and the adorables (can't find an album link, just a live video)
godstar "lie down forever"
the lemonheads "come on feel the lemonheads" and "it's a shame about ray" are both perfect albums
i could keep going but i should really go to bed.

Jellyfish, specifically the album Bellybutton. Here's an example of a track.
It's very hard to go wrong with XTC. Click this link: you won't be disappointed.

Math and Physics Club!
Also as the world's biggest Tullycraft fan, I'm obligated to mention Tullycraft. I'd especially recommend the tribute album Wish I'd Kept a Scrapbook as a road to discovering new bands. This transcendent cover of "Our Days in Kansas" by Darren Hanlon and Rose Melberg and Fishboy's cover of Rumble with the Gang Debs are special favorites.
