Asobi Seksu is pretty decent. I really liked their song called "Thursday" on their citrus album. I'm not always into this kind of music, which seems like a close relative to "noise" music, but there's something about that group... although it doesn't do it for me all the way.

I'm not sure that anyone cares, but if you go onto Roger Nichols's website he has credits on Citrus (in the scrolling list on his homepage)! I thought that was a trip if you think about what else he's involved in. I always associate him with the likes of Steely Dan (and particularly Donald Fagen) who seem to be quite different from "noise" music or the grunge of "shoegaze".
