Im hoping some of the music enthusiasts here can help with this rather simple question that has been bugging me for the last couple of hours.

Im trying to remember the name of a band that has come to light in the last 5 years or so. They play ambient indie style music along the same lines as Sigur Ros. I seem to think they are Canadian.

I know they have had a hit in the last couple of years but don't have much more to go on.

Any ideas?

All help appreciated as its driving me mental

Not quite Sigur Ros but how about Arcade Fire or Polyphonic Spree?!

Arcarde Fire? They are a great band, but you may want to brush up on your describing skills if you think they are anything near to Sigur Ros...

I was going to say is funeral is a much listened to album in my collection. I like it a lot more than neon.

I love both Funeral and Neon Bible, but 'keep the car running' is my fav track.
