Delightfully off-kilter Alt. something or other.

Another beautiful record...

Brilliantly Punked-up B-Movie Rockabilly.

Vocalist Lux Interior died in the last few months...

Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillion

[Image: 61dsWYvBxIL._SS500_.jpg]
Another play for this recent release...

&

Wire - Pink Flag

[Image: 3131XE9C77L._SS400_.jpg]
Very early UK Post-Punk.

Lots of short sharp songs. This is very close to actually going into the Punk section.

&

The Ward Brothers - Wave Goodbye to Grandma

[Image: 194353.jpg]

One of two of their albums that I have. Never really made a ripple, & I've no idea if they're still in existence.

Well keyboarded Alt Rock/Pop. Vocalist has a good voice.

&

Midlake - The Trials of Van Occupanther

[Image: 51LSTUCRFwL._SS400_.jpg]
Excellent, largely acoustic album which references 70's West-Coast Rock.

Tom Waits is a genius. I haven't listened to that record yet, but I highly recommend "Closing Time", "Small Change" & "Rain Dogs".

This Mortal Coil - It'll End in Tears

[Image: 5157NgpCdZL._SS500_.jpg]

Mixture of originals & left-field covers from this collaboration by members of the 4AD roster.

Predominantly Cocteau Twins personnel, with some help from Dead Can Dance & others, this is a fairly minimalist exploration of ethereal, Gothic music.

Iggy Pop - The Idiot

[Image: 411MBS8F16L._SS400_.jpg]
(Slightly) older brother to the above. This one's a bit more experimental, but still consistently good.
