 HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF...
 Bambi Lee Savage?

bambi_element Bambi Lee Savage has engineering credits on landmark albums by U2 and Nick Cave. The singer and songwriter has also racked up an impressive resume of collaborations -- with Mick Harvey and Hugo Race of the Bad Seeds, Alex Hacke of Einsturzende Neubauten, and Daniel Lanois. Indeed, Lanois produced Savage's ballad "Darlin'", featured in the movie Sling Blade. Her style gathers together spectral folk and delicate, bittersweet country -- with a voice that carries the weight of heartbreak and spiritual gravity.

yeah, we have it

Eulogies - Eulogies
"Eulogies simmers with emotion and brims with understated hooks, registering nearest the sensible introspection of Wheat's Hope and Adams, Nada Surf's The Weight is a Gift, or Death Cab for Cutie's Transatlanticism." - Pitchfork

Patrick Watson - Close To Paradise
Combining elements of cinematic, melodic post rock with electronic flourishes, Canada's Patrick Watson has quickly gained fans both among the public and in the notoriously jaded music business. The group, named for its front man and chief songwriter, has gained exposure on television through two separate song placements on Grey's Anatomy as well as a widely-seen video on You Tube ("The Great Escape" has been seen over 430,000 times). The widely acclaimed album is currently tearing up the charts in Europe and Scandinavia, and has reached gold status in Canada. This is unashamedly melodic alternative rock.
