The Sea and Cake
From the editors: With seven solid studio albums under their collective belt, we wonder why this Chicago-based quartet isn't more popular (though we're selfishly glad they haven't blown up). Sam Prekop's gently cool vocals mixed with John McEntire's tight production is always a winning combo.

Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan
From the editors: Till now, the only way to hear former Belle and Sebastian chanteuse Campbell paired with a Waitsian growl was to force-feed whiskey shots to Stuart. Much less messy is Isobel's latest collab with Lanegan, which melds Scottish dream-pop with the deliciously murky waters of gothic folk.
