The Twilight Singers
I don't really pester you with the rock and roll all that much, so allow me to pester you just this once about the new album by The Twilight Singers. For reference, I know very very little about their back catalog except that they do a pretty Björk cover, and that I heard them in a bar once and liked them enough to ask the bartender "whodat?" It's kind of moody and textured in that Elbow sort of vein, but I would call it a bit more uptempo / driving than that overall. From the album Powder Burns.

Major props for the Twilight Singers love. If you couldn't tell (just look at my email address), they are my favorite band... If you like Powder Burns, you really ought to check out Blackberry Belle, I can guarantee you that you'll love it. Also check out the Afghan Whigs (Greg's previous band)... a bit darker/more rock, but 1965 in particular is very similar in sound to the more recent Twilight Singers material. :)
