Palace Brothers - There is No-One What Will Take Care of You
There is No-One What Will Take Care of You is the debut solo album of the (amazing) multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Will Oldham (Bonnie Prince Charlie), in this case going under the name Palace Brothers. Playing on this album are also a few members of the band Slint.
A fragile, warbling voice rises above a field of disconsolate folky/lo-fi/post-rock textures, and century-old sadness washes in the refreshing light of dawn breaking over a high snow-tipped mountain. I found it very glorious to witness, the unfurling of this infinitely intimate album.

Huun Huur Tu & Carmen Rizzo - Eternal
Eternal is the collaborative work of Huun Huur Tu, a Tuvan throat singing group, and Carmen Rizzo, a producer, engineer, and electronic artist. This is an incredibly powerful and beautiful album of traditional folk and throat singing stretched against a canvas of ambient and electronic music.

Limited Express (has gone?) - Makes You Dance!
Groovy and schizophrenic music in the likes of Afrirampo and Melt-Banana (maybe even some DODDODO too). It has some lovely poppy moments and plenty of noise rock elements, which is why I can never be bored listening to Makes You Dance!
Limited Express (has gone?) was a Japanese experimental/noise pop duo formed in 1998 who toured worldwide and made three albums and a mini-album. This is their second album.
