For a blind leap of faith I actually ended up being very pleasantly surprised by this album, and it's been in pretty constant rotation since I first listened to it:

someone posted that here a while back and i checked it out as a result...and it has been pretty much the same for me. i can't stop listening to these guys...her voice is so damn sexy and their music is really smooth. listen to their new one...it is just as good.

Why?-Alopecia

Finally checked these guys out after all of the chatter about them on this board. Should have done it a lot sooner, this album is burrowing its way into my skull bit by bit. I downloaded Eskimo Snow as well but I haven't even gotten around to it, I keep going back to Alopecia.

Yep got those 2, also 'Margerine Eclipse'. 'Dots And Loops' only arrived in the post a few days ago so early days with that but sounds good. You can hear John McEntire's influence on it, shades of later period electronic Tortoise.

Siouxsie and the Banshees - Kaleidoscope

I didn't care much for it the first time (last week) but I'm digging it now.

Pretty awesome country-ish album from the singer of Rilo Kiley. I actually like this a lot more than Rilo Kiley...hm.

a posthumous boot released only in japan, then later distributed for a limited time in the U.S. great little beats and a sweet collab with ta'raach.

I've been finding myself increasingly enamoured with David Sylvian's work of late, which is of course why I'm giving this a spin at the moment. It's basically an early-90s Japan reunion album under a different moniker. It's a mostly instrumental kinda cross between new wave, ambient and jazz (to varying degrees), and produces a very ghostly-sounding result.

And this one's a kinda bridge between the more accessible, pop stylings of Talk Talk and their latter-day, Spirit Of Eden/Laughing Stock, avante-garde era. Top stuff in other words.
