Hot Club Sandwich - "Waltz Resistance" (Green Room)

Lovely chamber jazz music.

Greek influences, Yann Tiersen-ish, jazz, a whiff of tango.

Tin Hat - "Old World" (The Sad Machinery Of Spring)

Sad, melancholy, dreamy.

Tin Hat == Tin Hat Trio, it seems

Tin Hat Trio - "Night Of The Skeptic" (The Rodeo Eroded)

Evocative, violin, accordeon.

Mark Lanegan & Isobel Campbell - "Who Built The Road"

Just the same style as their other songs: wonderful.

Ivan Carrero - "Falling Down" (Stereo-Fornia)

(the "Female of the Species" channel)

Weird, this sounds very much like Emiliano Torrini and that British girl, Amy MacDonald.

Happy, good.

Bowerbirds - "In Our Talons" (Hymns For A Dark Horse)

Strange americana, nice accordeon, weird choir of male and female voices

"16 Horsepower" Pandora channel.

Murder By Death - "Pillars Of Salt" (Who Will Survive, And What Will Be Left Of Them)

(Pandora: "16 Horsepower" channel)

Slow, long guitars.

Bit of a silly band-name, but their soundscape music is good.

Hints of Godspeed! You Black Emperor, in the use of violin and piano.

Dolly Parton, again

Playing "Jolene" again, and not just once.

Was listening to 16 Horsepower before, and now Dolly Parton.

16 Horsepower - various

Wonderful folk, or "gothic americana"

  • "Beyond the Pale"
  • "Alone and Forsaken" : old sad tale

Might create a Pandora station, see what it comes up with.

The Faint - "Southern Belles From London Sing"

nice!

Should listen to more of their stuff again.
