Here's another one I found...she kind of sounds like Yula from Nanuchka but less punky...and instead of a middle-eastern influence it's got a bluegrass one. I really like her voice.
Also, here's a band from Montreal called Patrick Watson and the Wooden Arms. I just heard them last night; they describe themselves as storytellers, and have a big influence from Debussy and the impressionists. Kind of andrew bird-esque? Amazing music.
This Wild Beasts album, Two Dancers, is pretty good. So's the Lightning Dust album, Infinite Light, but I don't feel like picking a song off that one. Here's Wild Beasts -- All The King's Men.
Rodrigo y Gabriela's new album, "11:11" is apparently off the chain. From the one song I've heard, and the fact that every song on their last album was naaasty, I'm taking their word for it. Check out this song in the mean time, Buster Voodoo
(read: Radiohead makes Kanye's shitty song sound good. Crazy, I know. Esp. cuz it's autotone which, thanks to Sean, I now know is overdone. And can only be done ironically.)
(read: Beastie Boys and Daft Punk is a match made in heaven. But electronically, almost a little too much going on. But Earworm always toes the line, so that's to be expected.)
(rolling stones and Moguai/Tocadisco - very get-into-able)
I'll leave it at that for now - check out his other shit at http://djearworm.com/ if you're so inclined. I don't wanna overload this blog with my particularly particular taste anymore than I already have.
