Lola Dutronic
If you're in the mood for some indie downtempo loungepop, you might try Lola Dutronic, whose album, The World of Lola Dutronic, offers a smattering of Sixties and Seventies covers and some surprisingly good original material, as well as fearlessly tackling "Walking On Sunshine" in both French and English, all in a style that the band's label compares to Serge Gainsbourg, Saint Etienne, St. Germain, Air, Ivy, April March and Francoise Hardy. I think the label is stretching a bit - this is a little fluffier and a little less swank than alla that - but it's definitely worth a peek and has more personality than a lot of similarly-styled chill out material.

My favorite part of getting this CD was the confirmation email I got from CDbaby. This was my first time ordering from this purveyor of indie stuff (they charged $2 less for this CD than Amazon), and imagine my delight when this landed in my inbox:
Your CD has been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.
A team of 50 employees inspected your CD and polished it to make sure it was in the best possible condition before mailing.
Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over the crowd as he put your CD into the finest gold-lined box that money can buy.
We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of Portland waved 'Bon Voyage!' to your package, on its way to you, in our private CD Baby jet on this day, Friday, May 27th.
I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. We sure did. Your picture is on our wall as 'Customer of the Year'. We're all exhausted but can't wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!
Uh, sure thing!
