Future Islands

 

 

As pure a New Wave sound as you can get.

Chvrches

 

 

Chvrches is a synthpop band from Scotland who have successfully taken the sound of the '80s into the present.

White Lies

 

 

In the same way that Interpol wore their Joy Division influence on their sleeves, so do White Lies clearly owe a huge debt to Tears For Fears... without really sounding LIKE them, outside of the vocal similarities or the occasional guitar lick.

Erasure

 Vince Clarke and Andy Bell have been crafting top-notch electronic pop songs for nearly 40 years.

David Sylvian

 

David Sylvian started as the singer of Japan in the early '70s. After they broke up in the early '80s he continued on as a solo artist. And he's still going. Many of his recordings are instrumental/ambient/experimental.  His first album or 1999's Dead Bees On A Cake are good starting points for fans of Japan.

New Model Army

 

 

New Model Army fit beside (early) Killing Joke and Cult in the post-punk 80s. And like those 2 bands, they've continued making music into their 4th decade.

And Also The Trees

 

 

And Also The Trees should appeal to fans of 4AD or early Bad Seeds / Crime & The City Solution, kind of floating between genres.  They were around for a decade before disappearing... only to return again... and again.
