That is, if the idea of 5 different versions of Broadcast's "Echo's Answer" with vocals put through an auto-tune is appealing.

Hey, I liked that there New Buffalo EP. And I actually have Tim to thank for me buying it!

Lali Puna?

Bjork is capable of taking on this task.

Ha ha Jim is that based on their live show? Because yes it was awful, but I think the EP is really really good.

Well, to be honest the EP grew on me, but that was my immediate reaction..

I can't see Broadcast fitting the bill... Maybe the subject matter of the lyrics fits, but the delivery is very different... And Harriet Wheeler can actually sing :P ... I do like Broadcast's recordings though.

BoC's stuff sounds like it was recorded in a bunker in Scotland, whereas Broadcast sounds like it was recorded in inner-city Sheffield.

"I hate Gareth for coming up with what might well be my perfect band, and then failing miserably to come up with any examples that fulfill it. Sigh."

I have to agree. But maybe its a good thing; it might be so 'right' that it would quickly become genuinely boring...

two weeks pass...

Am I right in thinking Hood are from Wetherby, West Yorkshire?

I rented the movie Wetherby tonight. Has anyone seen it?

Gareth should obviously form a band called Boring Postcards.

i think Broadcast is the correct answer - to all questions.

Thanks Robin! Any chance on getting your thoughts on Wessex over on this thread?

Bjork is capable of taking on any task, don'tcha know.

Agree with Broadcast. It's not a precise match - they do have that slightly industrial edge to them which is out of kilter with both pastoralism and suburban whimsy - but their songs do combine very cerebral electronics with Harriet Wheeler's almost dreamlike voice, so.

Hood are too cold to have anything to do with a Sundays comparison (and I mean that in a good way). He (they?) always reminded me of Arab Strap if Aidan Moffat was out on the moors in the rain instead of in a pub. Laika, mayyybe... Margaret Fiedler's voice is too ghost woman-y, though.

C'mon it's got to be Mum.

It would be Mum if they sang more, or maybe even had more poignant or even discernable lyrics. The Sundays were one of the few bands I've ever loved for their ... *texture* whose lyrics were also important and noteworthy and packed some kind of emotional punch for me.
