Thanks to a thread on this very site I have discovered (for myself) The Sound. What a great band. How did I not know about them. I'm no musical genius, but surely I should have already heard them. That's my listening sorted for a while. Thanks to the original poster suggesting a track of theirs in the "songs you genuinely think are perfect" thread.
