The Pastels - Nothing to Be Done
The Pastels are from Glasgow, Scotland. They've been together since 1982 (!!), their recent works includes the soundtrack to The Last Great Wilderness in 2003 and music production for 12 Stars in November 2006. Currently they are just a trio: Stephen, Katrina, and Aggi.
Don't let this great duet fool you, I honestly don't think Stephen is a good singer at all. His voice cracks and whines on their early songs (it's AWFUL), but for some reason, he's not half-bad on this song, "Nothing to be Done". I believe that is Annabel (Aggi) singing the girl part - which reminds me a lot of Hope Sandoval.
PS, I just found out that a band called Love Is All covered "Nothing to be Done" (their latest EP cover art is in their profile). Being a cover lover, I really want to hear their version of it!

The American equivalent would be Beat Happening.
