The Be Good Tanyas - Hello Love (2006)

I found this band through the Weeds soundtracks, both of which will appear in an upcoming post, and I thought they were really something. Very unlike anything I'm generally into posting here, this Canadian bluegrass-y, Americana band perfectly embodies what last.fm refers to as "lush vocal melodies." I've always admired well-done harmonies, and this record is chock full of them. Though it's not for everyone, I'd recommend it if you like music that's slightly traditional but not boring.

Ass - My Get Up And Go Just Got Up And Went (2007)

This is one Swedish guy playing some instruments, mostly an acoustic guitar, and creating some really cool moods and aural landscapes in the process. It's similar to early Kaki King, I'd say.
