[TOMT] Indie pop song with repeated two-note line throughout
At a diner in the city, in between Destroyer and DJ Shadow tunes, was this nice song:
Synthy
Real drums (I think)
Whispy female vocals
~4 minutes
A two-note (two quarter-notes) vocal or synth line was repeated every 4 bars. I don't think it ever dropped out.
WHAT IS IT?

Maybe Maps by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs?
No the vocals were even whispier and the beat more steady and dancey.
That makes me think of something by Lykke Li. Maybe Little Bit or Dance, Dance, Dance?
Her voice is very close! It might even be her. Are there any Lykke Li songs with the sound of Electrelane's drums instead of that calypso vibe?
These are the closest I could find to that sound: Let it Fall or Everybody But Me. I may have exhausted my Lykke Li knowledge at this point. As 90sthrowback suggested, maybe check some Portishead as well.
