They remind me a little of the intricate, soft music of The Notwist, although some mexican guitars and trumpets do appear in some songs. However, very nice to listen to while reading books.

The 101
For me, music of this band perfectly fits as background for doing stuff at home despite the fact that it’s really more on the punky side. Not too demanding nor aggressive, but driving and melodious nevertheless.

Not like the name of this band, their music is really something very agreeable. Very relaxed, occasionally e-wind instrument supported (hence the name) indie pop.
Shuggie Otis
Now this is one artist where I feel really embarrassed I haven’t known him earlier.
The soft, laid-back R&B from the 60s and 70s just fires up my good mood, no matter what I do in the background (or foreground). Superb guitar skills make this man a remarkable, true blues, funk & soul protagonist. One of those musicians that have an enormous potential which is never recognized or discovered by the mainstream. Nevertheless, he’s had and declined his offers, for a good reason, too.
Listen to his album Here Comes Shuggie Otis.
Enjoy.
Floating Action
I came to know about this one because the first few sounds of a song made my ears go gigantic. The song is called Been Broken and instantly reminded me a lot of Keep the Lights On by the Wave Machines, which is attractive just for its beat simplicity. Yet, this one was more intricate, more subtle and just this bit more intimate. It literally sneaked its way into my ear.
The whole album, Fake Blood, is easy to listen to. Laid back guitar and drums arranged for mellow indie pop songs that go well with many things except sweaty disco nights.
