One of the coolest new sounds (from the UK) i've heard recently is Bent,
from Nottingham.
I think lemon Jelly and Blue States are also from the UK.

PS: Incidentally I have listended to the new Air (10,000 Mhz experience).
It's very dark (following the Virgin Suicides ternd) but in such a good way.
be ready for a lot of "Dark side of the moon safari" jokes
