Wow! I cringed when I saw you'd posted Paul Young, but listened to it anyway to give you the benefit of the doubt! I would never have known that was Paul Young if you hadn't said so!

This is Tori Amos

The singer is called Roddy Woomble (he's from Ayr originally, I think) Here's what Wikipedia says

Idlewild are a Scottish rock band, formed in Edinburgh, in 1995, comprising Roddy Woomble (lead vocals), Rod Jones (guitar, backing vocals), Colin Newton (drums), Allan Stewart (guitar) and Gareth Russell (bass). To date, Idlewild have released six full-length studio albums, with their latest, Post Electric Blues, self-released to fans in June 2009.

Initially, Idlewild's sound was faster and more dissonant than many of their 1990s indie rock contemporaries. However, it developed over time from an edgy and angular sound (as heard in their early material—once described by the NME as "the sound of a flight of stairs falling down a flight of stairs"[1]) to a sweeping, melodic rock sound as displayed on The Remote Part and Warnings/Promises. While Idlewild's sound cannot be easily placed into a specific genre, they have clearly been influenced by the likes of: Gang of Four, Pavement, R.E.M., Blur and Fugazi.

Part of Idlewild's early success can be attributed to their singles gaining heavy rotation on Steve Lamacq's Evening Session on BBC Radio 1. Alongside his all-round endorsement of the band, Lamacq often cites them as one of his favourite bands.

In April 2010, vocalist Roddy Woomble announced that the band will enter a 'hiatus' following their current tour.[2] However this was proved to be a misunderstanding of sorts with Woomble later going on to suggest that there would be further shows before the end of 2010 in support of the EMI re-release of "100 Broken Windows".[3]

The only one of their albums I have is Post Electric Bolues, but I also have Roddy Woomble singing with Kris Drever and John McCusker on an album called Before The Ruin
