Kino
So I am an admitted longtime fan of Marillion, and have also thought well of Porcupine Tree and It Bites. Now is a band that combines members from all three of those bands (Pete Trewavas, Chris Maitland and John Beck respectively.) Pete Trewavas you may also recognize from his work with another art-rock supergroup, Transatlantic (featuring members of Dream Theatre and Spock's Beard.)
The band is Kino, the album is Picture, and they have a downloadable mp3 sample of 5 tracks from the album available. I have to say it sounds quite promising if the rest of the album is like this. It has some catchy hooks interspersed with some rather arty quirks that doesn't come off as dated or offensive to those who like tunes you can follow. Truth be told, none of it is more pretentious than the last Radiohead album, although it is ballsier and closer to a mix of Porcupine Tree and Rabin-era Yes.
