Not necessarily overlooked, but Majical Cloudz have some gems and might fit the bill. Major Blue Nile influence is obvious. _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.
Yeah I've been pretty obsessed with Majical Cloudz since being really exposed to them this tournament running in games. Not sure half of the bands ya listed are overlooked. 'Specially Phantogram with that national car commercial really thrusting them into the mainstream indie spotlight half a decade ago. Jay Som really struck me when they first appeared on the scene (Lipstick Stains recorded entirely in a bedroom mainly on midi is insane when you consider how lush the orchestra on that sounds) but they've become a little more competent/a little less interesting to me on Anak Ko, beautiful cover art though.
Hope in a Darkened Heart by Virginia Astley is pretty underrated to me. One of the greatest records Ryuichi Sakamoto ever lended his hands too which is saying something. Big ups to Suedeswede for recommending that to me.
Robert Wratten's post field mice project, Northern Picture Library is super underrated too.

Phantogram and the others just aren't rated highly on this site is what I was going by. They all seem to have a pretty good sized fan base outside of BEA.
Not obscure picks or anything, but just general recs. Look at Japan/Singapore for stuff. Macaroom, For Tracy Hyde, My Little Airport, Sharesprings, Spangle Call Lilli Line etc...
