Good to have you back after a week away, I missed the blog even though I’ve never heard of most of these arteeests.
Anyway, a suggestive for the applecart is Leila. Considerably NOT!pop she is, good, electronica with a bent for illicit tunes and not so obvious ear for a song. Enjoy

Ladytron new album Volcifero out in a couple of weeks. Not strictly female but who cares.
New Portishead album - Third - madly depressing, just the way I like it.
Sainkho Namtchylak - cos i read “The Wire”!!! best album “stepmother city”, tuuvan throat singing like you’ve never heard before.

XIX - a New York band whose vocals come from Mimi Goese who has previously sung on a couple of Moby songs. Mimi was also a founder member of the much missed Hugo Largo group from the late 80’s. Reminiscent of a lighter Nico, dead pan vocals and done accompaniment.
Bat for lashes not too far away, speak soon.

the above should read “drone accompaniment” !! of course.
Holly Crap! I have not been getting the posts from this page… Me Bad! Full respect to Oracle for the heads up on those (some done already).

This month’s suggestives are, in no particular order
Josephine Foster, just the right side of experimental but listenable.
The Knife - brother , sister act with a panchent for wearing crows head death masks whilst performing live- also some of the best videos, check out the web site http://www.theknife.net (video for the track Silent Shout officially the most disturbing)
Abraham - just one album released in 2000, “Blue for the Most”.
Client - girls singing in regional accents way before it was deemed “the way to sell to the masses”!!
A finally , a fella!!!! - Paul Hartnoll’s album “The Ideal Condition” draws on the more melodic elements of his time in Orbital and even manages to rope in Robert Smith on one track.
