Ben have you given The Smiths a listen ? "Girl Friend in a coma " was one of their singles , jolly title. I think their best song was "this charming man" . Maybe do not watch the video ,that is lame. Morrissey the lead singer , was/is the king of melancholy.
I was brought up on Madness,

who I've always liked and it fits your list of attractions is "Mazzy Star"a very haunting voice. many tracks on youtube.
If you willing to go a bit obscure, your list reminds me of one of my all time favorites. There was a little known band in the mid 90's named Common Children and their album Delicate Fade is at the top of my list. It's hard to find, but well worth the effort IMO. Some people thought their first album was a bit too Pearl Jam-ish, but their second kept all the intensity but mellowed it out quite a bit. A very mature album IMO. It's not too often you hear a guy screaming over top of a cello (track 3). Here's a link to my google result...http://www.google.com/musicl?lid=fSCfBJiShfI&aid=u0LPqqOAFUH&sa=X&oi=music&ct=result
This one... sounds kinda mellow
(I always liked Mazzy Star lyrics)I want to hold the hand inside youI want to take a breath thats trueI look to you and I see nothingI look to you to see the truthYou live your lifeYou go in shadowsYoull come apart and youll go blackSome kind of night into your darknessColors your eyes with whats not there.Fade into youStrange you never knewFade into youI think its strange you never knewA strangers light comes on slowlyA strangers heart without a homeYou put your hands into your headAnd then smiles cover your heartFade into youStrange you never knewFade into youI think its strange you never knewFade into youStrange you never knewFade into youI think its strange you never knewI think its strange you never knewanother good group I really injoyed (mellow) is; "The Sundays"
Oh, just to set the record straight... The band sounded a bit like Nirvana at the begining, not Pearl Jam. A bit of a difference... I just read over the post again and saw my mistake.
