Medicine are back, new album, the works! 18 years after disbanding Medicine have announced a fresh LP called 'To The Happy Few' featuring the first single 'Long As The Sun' ( limited free download ), available on August 6 via Captured Tracks!

Meet To The Happy Few , 3 guys (sometimes 4) based in France. You might be able to compare them to The Big Pink , but then, not quite.
