Moon Safari are a Swedish melodic prog band formed in 2003. They are a 5 piece, and every band member sings, though only 2 are lead vocalists. This creates some fantastic harmonies to fit into some great melodies. the band members are:
Simon Åkesson - lead vocals, piano, Hammond organ, moog, mellotron
Petter Sandström - lead vocals, acoustic guitar
Pontus Åkesson - guitars, backing vocals
Johan Westerlund - bass, backing vocals
Tobias Lundgren - drums, backing vocals
And they have created three albums, (All in English):
A Doorway To Summer (2005)
Blomljud (2008)
Lover's End (2010)

The albums sat on my shelf for about 6 weeks before I played Blomljud in Harkat's car, and enjoyed it thoroughly. Then the next day I put on Lover's End and was blown away by the epic prog/pop style! That started an addiction, and now they're one of my favourite prog bands from the last decade!
Lastly, a couple more songs:
