I have a number of suggestions if you're open to them. One band I particularly like is Hammock, though some of their material can be more or less ambient, so it may not be for you.

I have Recording a Tape the Colour of the Light. Like you said, I really like their use of the horns with the strings, the horns particularly. I love Recording a Tunnel off of this album a lot, it's really a great listen, especially as someone who enjoys ambient and avant-garde type music.
