The ultimate rainy day band. A mishmash of styles - folkie strumming, subdued harmonies, new age bleeps and blips, drum machines, chipmunk noises, the occasional rap, and a tendency to gravitate towards movements like the second half of "Hey Jude" - all held together by sad-sounding melodies. It sounds terrible written down like this. Its the most originial thing you're likely to hear.

The Dirty Projectors
Demented arty pop, with the most suprising harmonies ever. They sound like a grapefruit.

The Feelies
Strum, mumble, churn. Like a cross between R.E.M and The Velvet Underground. For some people, that's enough said.
Album to hear: The Good Earth
