I posted this two pages back and it's still in my head. Her record is pretty great, actually.
this fucking chick. Have you ever seen her interviews? I don't whether to tranquilize her so that she calms down or fall in love with her because her lisp is adorable.

A very loose use of the term "recently discovered" from me, but awesome nonetheless. The Drones - River of Tears.

Bohren & der Club of Gore - where the hell have you been all my life, etc.
Saw these guys at a festival in Dortmund before Mogwai played. Now I know what suffering really is. Should name themselves Boring & der Club of Gore.
#edit# I must be honest and say after listening that I do see myself enjoying this for a few tunes at home on a moody night. But for over an hour live at a festival was pure torture.

That Alabama Shakes performance is riveting--not much of a song, though. How's the rest of the album?
I just wrote a fucking huge reply to this and then my internet went down. I'll try to sum up:
I haven't got the album but have been searching the Internet for other material. By the sounds of it, they are a very straightforward southern rock / blues / motown band, but one with plenty of authenticity and integrity. The songs are straightforward but with as much passion as the best bar band, where you know that you've had a great fucking night and believed everything the band played and said. This song isn't the best on the album, but displays another thing I like about the band. Where a song is very straightforward, they'll add more interest musically, with interesting pushes (like the snare fill / crash / pushes of this song on the chorus) and solos and middle eights that you weren't expecting. So it's those subtleties, that ear candy, which keeps them interesting, as well as that authentic cajun special sauce that a band like Kings of Leon lost years ago.
