Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions - Through The Devil Softly 2009

As long as we're in the area, this is a lot like Jesse Sykes but warmer. It honestly sounds exactly like taking a bunch of painkillers and then having a great day. Think Grouper but less drone and less ambient and then remix it through Earth's Hex, again, just because I can.

Jesse Sykes & The Sweet Hereafter - Oh, My Girl 2004

Hopefully the right link. Very, very pretty music. I really can't imagine anyone not liking this album. It's slow and haunting and very...sparse? That's probably the word. It's Earth's Hex mixed with some band I don't know, and then remixed with Earth's Hex again.

plus she does this

1. Oh. My Girl
2. You Are Not Gotten Here
3. Troubled Soul
4. The Dreaming Dead
5. Your Eyes Told
6. Tell The Boys
7. Birds Over Water
8. Winter Hunter
9. House By The Lake
10. Grow A New Heart

The Denver Gentlemen - Introducing...1995

As far as local music goes, this band is a must. Responsible for shaping the "Denver sound" along side bands like 16 Horsepower (which formed after this bands demise) and Devotchka, it is sad to say this is the bands only distributed release. And on top of that, it wasn't released until 2001 nationally. I stumbled upon this piece of musical wonderment some months back and was instantly hooked. It's like listening to a more focussed, ballsier Beirut, without the pretentiousness. It's dark, it's sad, it's everything I could ask for. The vocals are weird and haunting and oddly catchy; definitely a highlight. Check it out, and if you're not hooked by "Little Darlin'," you will be then.


1. The Lord, He Speak To Me
2. The Blue Parrot
3. Mid-Day-Merry-Go-Round
4. Little Darlin'
