Yup ... but that is from their second album 'Babel' released in 2012, their latest 'Wilder Mind' (2015) has no banjo.
Hoh bah, really? No banjo? I have not heard this new album and doubt it will be as good as the previous one because the unique and great thing that made them stand out was the banjo. Unhappy
You may like Biffy Clyro, the banjo is not a feature instrument, but they do use it



There is a band in Xover called Fair to Midland that uses banjo... sadly I can't remember anything about them apart from this publicity shot, which had me in fits of giggles for some inexplicable reason:

I'd like to recommend Ryan Power's I Don't Want To Die, an art pop album released on NNA Tapes from Burlington, Vermont, in 2012.

I adore Vampire Weekend, especially Step, Ya Hey and (my particular favorite) Unbelievers.  because even atheists need theme music.

What Are You Waiting For by the singer-songwriter Vienna from the U.S. This girl is a next star on the red carpet, under the flash of cameras..

I don't know if Guster can be considered pop, more underground rock, but their 2006 release, "Ganging Up On The Sun" is an A+ in my book. And I've only given out A+'s to thirtysome albums.
There is no dark side in the moon, really... Matter of fact, it's all dark...
