This or That Yep, as commenter Old Man accurately guessed, it wasn't Midlake, but rather the UK's The Leisure Society, with a Midlake-like turn on the track "The Last of the Melting Snow". Well done.
Thanks for the props.
I had not thought of using Shazam to identify a song so I tried it with "The Last of the Melting Snow"
Unrecognized - it wouldn't have helped. I figured The Leisure Society through good old fashioned detective work.
Shazam is great for mainstream radio songs - it gets a little dicey outside the mainstream - it is not identifying the ALO I am listening to right now but did i.d. Blitzen Trapper.
If you keep it to fairly obscure groups (see last week) then it should be a challenge for all of us. No Coldplay please.
