yeah, that new Nick Cave is pretty excellent! I'd add that it taps into a similar vein of sparse, but very subtle-y rich and deftly played music that Neil Young hit with On The Beach and Van Morrison on (esp. the first half) Veedon Fleece.

Currently listening to both the Tame Impala albums a lot - Innerspeaker I find even stronger than Lonerism. In a totally different vein, the new one (only one maybe?) from Rhye is gorgeous. Obvious comparisons to Sade abound though its two dudes singing and making the music. The production is lush on it too.
