Nicole Atkins / Neptune City - the female Roy Orbison in a David Lynch atmosphere - great voice, huge orchestrations, kitsch but just right on that edge
Ane Brun / Changing of the seasons & A temporary dive - Swedish singer songwriter, a bit of Kate Bush, a bit of Joni Mitchell but mostly her own - especially her interpretation of Purcell's Laid in Earth is killing me
Senor Coconut / Around the world - latin versions of famous pop songs, very funny, very well done
Metallica / Death Magnetic - back to basics, what can I say
Angelo Badalamenti / Mulholland Drive soundtrack - Nicole Atkins mentions Badalamenti as inspiration - this is a great record, never really listened to it extensively
