Her Vanished Grace - Desire [alternative, shoegaze]

Her Vanished Grace is an American dream pop band from New York. They describe their music as a "modern mix of '80s post punk and '90s shoegaze with killer hooks and vivid colors" and it definitely sums up this song, "Desire" from their 2011 album See The Moon. Although there are definite hints of the shoegaze style in their instrumentals, that label cannot encapsulate their style, which incorporates strong vocals and upbeat melodies. The entire album was a real pleasure to listen to and can be found (for free!) on their Bandcamp.
