I've always thought of British Sea Power as the acceptable face of U2.
They both create landscapes but BSP make a diorama of somewhere nice and present it in the village hall whereas U2 just terraform wherever they happen to be into whatever planet they're on. BSP are cute and helpful, like the cubs, U2 are creepy, like scouts.
And the latest BSP thing is even more magnificently village hall because they've added a brass band. Gorgeous, sweeping, modest.
