Hiss Golden Messenger - "Jesus Shot me in the head" : cool
Manchester Orchestra - "Virgin" : awesome! film score, choir, punky

Dead Man's Bones - "Lose your soul" : not a must-look-into, with its child choir, but still nice rhythm and good speed.

The Handsome Family again: "The Bottomless Hole" : bit too many uplifting chords, quite country, still ok.

Dead Man's Bones [myspace]

Because of a review in de Volkskrant I took a look at their myspace site. (I still loathe the myspace layout! Nothing has changed there.) Describing themselves as "gothic, gospel" they have songs with titles like "Flowers grow on my grave" and "My body is a zombie for you".

It isn't bad, but the "dark-indie" sound isn't unique and sounds a bit the same in every song. Perhaps I must try it again some other time.
