There is some sort of emotional connection between BoC and Sundays in that they both induce that childish regression, which i guess is what you are getting at.
I can only really think of St Etienne but they probably fall more into the "fey indie groups" category. The last album would fit the bill though in my opinion.

I'd recommend IDM group Manitoba -- their album "Start Breaking My Heart." A few songs have that "post-office-bike-route" whimsy .. though ultimately they're not all that different than Boards of Canada and certainly don't hit the songwriter nail right on the head.
By that same route, you should check out Morr Music's compilation "Putting the Morr Back in Morrissey." Mark Richardson elaborates in his Pitchfork review of Manitoba.

Has anyone heard The Boy Lucas (on Output)? Descriptions of that record -- I think it's called, Out of the Wires -- seem to fit the bill here

Am I right in thinking Hood are from Wetherby, West Yorkshire? They certainly came into my mind while watching horse racing from there this weekend, for some reason ...

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

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...

I rented the movie Wetherby tonight. Has anyone seen it?
Gareth should obviously form a band called Boring Postcards.

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.
