Whew, glad you passed cause you don't strike me as one that might go for Wyatt, but I'm not that good at judging what people may or may not like. The Rock Bottom album I talked about above is much artier than I imagine this new one is, with only 6 long songs. Probably along the lines of early Roxy Music mixed with that tell-tale Brian Eno fairy dust (sorry, I just remember reading that Eno description someplace and wanted to use it :-)) but with more of a free jazz feel. More jazz than avant garde, but still quite adventurous. Many layers of production and quirky stories with that ever-present wonderful, high pitched, fragile, cute, expressive, and loveable voice. The reviewer at the BBC says, "Listening to Cuckooland is akin to having a cup of tea with a very, very intelligent friend. It soothes as it pricks the conscience."

I'll keep you posted and maybe put a sampler together in the not-too-distant future.
