The vocalist reminds me of someone, I just can't quite put my finger on whom.
The track is oddly listed under Miscellaneous on Discogs rather than listed as a single, even though it seems to be a two-track download.
I can see why Discogs suggests stuff like Moderat, Caribou, Kolsch and The xx underneath the band's listings. It has that moody, late night electronic vibe.

I thought his AOC remix was quite brave, but it was always going to be diffcult to improve on the original. I suspect the only way to satisfy NO fans with a remix of that track would be to beef up the synths a bit, and maybe extend it. Stripping out the good bits is asking for trouble.
I was also aware of Howie B as a contributor to U2's Passengers project, and more recently I caught him supporting Trentemoller at the Royal Festival Hall (!) as part of 2014's Meltdown festival. I remember thinking at the time I should probably check out his stuff (but did I?...).
Speaking of NO (sort of), Mixmag have made this track No. 4 in their 50 best tracks of 2018. They describe this as "retro" and "New Order-esque", and they may have a point. But it's not as good as NO, IMHO (surprise!).
