After hearing this clip, there is a bit of a resemblance to some of Prefab
Sprout.  I'd not start with _Andromeda Heights_ or _From Langley Park to
Memphis_.  Those lack a certain spark, and seem a bit precariously
balanced between "hit-pop" and "art-pop".  For the more rough-hewn,
acoustic side, try _Swoon_ or _Protest Songs_.  For the sparkly production
and poetic melachonly, try _Steve McQueen_ (aka _Two Weels Good_ in the
US).  For interlocking suites of divine pop thrills, try _Jordan: The
Comeback_.  The Catholic-boy-dreamer aspect, in common with B&S, is
undeniable.

Just so you can't say I didn't try....
