Guillemots (sometimes written gUiLLeMoTs) is a London-based avant-garde pop and indie rock band, formed in November 2004. They consist of: Fyfe Dangerfield from Birmingham in England (a.k.a. Fyfe Hutchins and formerly a member of Senseless Prayer) on vocals, keyboards and guitar; lead guitarist mC LOrd MagRãO (formerly of Prendedor) from Brazil, who also plays bass guitar, accordion, mandolin theremin and keyboards occasionally; Canadian Aristazabal Hawkes on double bass, electric bass, keyboards and occasionally tambourine; and Scottish percussionist Greig Stewart (who briefly went by the name Rican Caol).
The band released their debut EP, I Saw Such Things in My Sleep EP, in September 2005; all 1000 copies sold out on the day of release. In January 2006, Guillemots were awarded fifth place in the BBC’s Sound of 2006 list of favourite up-and-coming acts.
Their full-length debut LP, Through The Windowpane was released in July 2006, including
Made-Up Lovesong #43 from the Such Things EP and other previous singles Trains To Brazil and We’re Here. The album’s release date was timed so it would be eligible for the 2006 Mercury Music Prize, and the album did make the shortlist.
During the recording sessions for the album, the band recorded an EP entitled Of The Night made up of one song written by each band member. It was released via the internet on Valentine’s Day 2006 and performed live in its entirety at the BBC Electric Proms 2006, with the BBC Concert Orchestra.

Having listened to both Through The Windowpane and Red over and over again...I really can't tell the difference. Both albums are astoundingly creative and have the same level of qualit as eachother. It's just that Red has a bit more balls.

The first album actually pushed the boat out. And it's not because they played office stationary, because anybody could do that. Second one was mainstream Radio 1 fodder, for the most part.

Guillemots are really the only mainstream avant-garde British band out there. As far as I can tell, no other band uses office stationary in their songs, thus the Guillemots are automatically better than most of these "other ten-a-penny avant-garde but really just indie" bands you talk about, but which I am convinced don't exist.
