Hey Steve!

I really like Cousteau a lot.  That is exactly what they sound like Roxy 
Music/Tindersticks with Bowie/Ferry or Scott Walker on lead vocals sorta.  
The song "Last Good Day Of The Year" (from their 1st cd - they have 3 
out)sounds exactly like a Bacharach via Walker Bros. track.  In fact the 
trumpet/instrumental part of the song was used for some wine commercial that I saw on tv a 
while back.
