Both are quite good (and not necessarily competitive). I've heard only a bit of 1975 and none of Nation of Language. Maybe newer stuff is harder to get hold of, I don't know. But I lean more toward "About You" than "From the Hill." Perhaps if I spent more time with each band.... Still, each rating is within what the statisticians call the margin of error.

About You: 90

From the Hill: 87

Because I love to follow your fecund posts with other music, here are two, the first an example of "Lush" and the second a kind of "Dream Pop." Neither is intended is a supersession or a replacement for the originals, just an expansion of the basic concepts.

Lush: Last Days, "The Whole Town Is Against Us" https://youtu.be/y4WZmR1efq0

Dream Pop: Loney Dear, "Largo" https://youtu.be/oUIYAsPBcGA
