If you like Ford – and I think it's fair to presume that you do since you're here – then a little-known band from New Zealand called The Veils are bound to be right up your street. I can't begin to describe the extent of their brilliance without sounding contrived, so here are some attempts to do so by people far more eloquent than myself:

If those reviews have whetted your musical appetite, here's a selection of some of their best songs:

If you've enjoyed what you've heard so far, all three of their albums are available to stream for free on Spotify. (Other recommended songs include: 'Three Sisters', 'The House She Lived In', 'Not Yet', 'Nux Vomica', 'Lavinia' and 'Talk Down The Girl'.)

Comments about the lead singer's oversized hat, or rants about how much of a travesty it was that it only cost me the paltry sum of £3 to see them play a gig at a tiny pub in Preston in April, are more than welcome…
