Discovered: Their song 'We Have a Map of the Piano' was in a CD sampler that came with an issue of UK music mag The Wire. I'd never heard electronic music sound so organic–cold, yet so cozy at the same time.

Fav album - Loksins erum við engin (2002)
Fav song - 'Grasi vaxin göng' from Loksins erum við engin
Jolie Holland
Discovered: I think it was through Rolling Stone magazine. There was a buzz about her around the time her second album, Escondida, came out that Tom Waits was a fan and signed her to his label. I figured if TW likes her sound, I should hop to it and check her out.
Recorded output this decade - 4 albums
Fav album - Springtime Can Kill You (2006)
Fav song - 'Mexico City' from The Living and the Dead (2008)
