Music from the UK

For a progressive rock show, I know, a theme like 'Music from the UK' is not very original, but anyway, let's try to find some nice tunes.

Paatos - Breathing (2011)

Paatos was founded in 1993 in Sweden by members of the bands Landberk and Agg. Until 2012 they have released 5 studio recordings and a live album. That year a tour was announced, but then the record company released the following statement:
"Dear Friends and Fans,
It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we deliver this news to you… that Paatos will be cancelling their entire European tour in November due to a very tragic turn of events… The lead singer, Petronella Nettermalm’s sister has been hospitalized this weekend in critical condition..."
Unfortunately, the tour was never caught up, and it became quiet around Paatos.
The featured album of today is 'Breathing' (2011), their last album that consists entirely of new material.
It is difficult to describe the music. Maybe as a bunch of well composed and instrumented songs with female vocals and a slightly melancholic, haunting atmosphere, which evokes a certain fascination.
