Who doesn't love a classic British electro-duo singing catchy, soulful synthpop? Not me. It may have indeed been many years since the early years of Blancmange, Soft Cell, Erasure or the Pet Shop Boys, but the trope remains current nonetheless.
One group that I only recently became aware of is Shelter. They have a very (deliberate, no doubt) Erasure-esque sound, and their hit "Ascend" shows that quite well.
They've been around for a little while; this is their second album, it looks like, and they've even done some work with Andy Bell. But they're new to me, and this song is the apex (to me, anyway) of their output as far as I can tell.
