The Shins

I love The Shins because their music is filled with emotion but isn't emotional.

The Shins speak of love with that sense of longing or absence which remind you that there' s a God.

The "sad stuff" is fulfilling because sadness is much more complex than happieness. There's more to contemplate and be "in wonder" about - which is more like love of the Divine than feelings of happiness or even elation.
