The Field Mice and related band Northern Picture Library. checks many similar boxes to the Sundays: jangly, dreamy, indie, 90s, wistful, British. That northern picture library song is one of my favorites lately.
Also give Life Without Buildings a try. really dynamic vocalist, kind of similar to the Sundays but with a more eccentric, totally unique style.

Shouts out to Clare Wadd, Matt Haynes and the whole C86 jangle-pop thing this Bristol UK label celebrated musically. The Field Mice, the Orchids, East River Pipe, Boyracer, the Hit Parade, so many others. Do yourself a favor and rediscover this little Brit label that could circa 1987-95.

I LOVE The Sundays and that album so much, it is one of my favorites of all time. The Cranberries are an obvious choice for similar sounding bands since Dolores O'Riordan and Harriet Wheeler have similarly powerful vocals. This album specifically came out 3 years after RW&A is really great.
Cocteau Twins also have a somewhat similar thing going on, and maybe even Slow Pulp in a more folky way.
