The Invisible Band

The Man Who shares a sensibility (and a producer) with Radiohead’s shoe-gazer symphony OK Computer. As on the Radiohead album, the guitars and rhythm section — and the occasional splash of background static — meld into a muted wall of sound. But it’s a wall made of fluffy, inviting cotton.

The Man Who is the logical successor to OK Computer as the "important rock" album of its year at least in Europe.
