Help me find bands pairing well with White Lies.

Backstory : I've only been listening to To lose my life for basically... 15 years I guess ? I stumbled upon this album out of sheer luck as young me was browsing Itunes randomly and stopped on it because of the cover.

I've been addicted and was happy about it. After a few weeks of listening I naturally wondered what they were up about. Found Ritual and... it did not go well. I disliked almost every track and went the "Oh well, another band releasing an absolute masterpiece just to disappoint me the next album" way and parted away with my precious and beloved album.

15 years later, I bought some hi-fi headphones and gave a try to Qobuz. Which rapidly showed White lies discography. Discovered Big TV and a bit of Friends so far.

Question is : would you, die hard White Lies fans, have bands akin to White lies in your pockets to recommend ? Few details to help you pinpoint :

- I basically stopped searching for almost anything rock-shapped in the past decade. I've been an electro/techno addict. So feel free to propose things not so recent.
- I only dig To lose my life and Big TV so far. I tolerate Friends for now, the pop influence is not my jam at all. I'm taking my time to acclimate to it before approaching Five because it would not be a success as of today.

Thanks !
