Groovecatcher is a musical project (currently less active, even their website is down) by Simon Cooper and Phil Webb featuring Manuela Van Geenhoven on vocals. You might know the boys from their other alias, GXR, under which they did (in 2007) a highly appreciated remix of "Billie Holiday-Long Gone Blues". They also recorded an album as GXR, as they did under the Groovecatcher guise. Entitled "After The Rain", it was released in 2006 on the respected Elektrolux label.
My favorite track from the album is undoubtedly "Intoxicated". The "climax" at ~1:20 is just wonderful, lots of layered harmonies happening in a dreamy tune with even dreamier and airier vocals. Just perfect!
It's interesting to know that they do their own videos and graphics (Phil Webb is responsible for the visual side of this project), so that adds up to their already huge pile of talent.
