Theres a duo from York called Pillowfish who released a quirky little album called Common Knowledge at the very beginning of 2007.

it's one of those albums that really grows on you - on the first listen i didn't quite take it all in and appreciate it as much as i do now, and it's now rarely out of my CD player. I hear something new every time I lisetn, there are so many layers. I think they're very much underrated, with really sophisticated lyrics, ideas and arrangements and well worth a listen.

If you want to hear something that doesn't sound like anything else that's going on at the moment check them out at http://www.pillowfish.co.uk.
