How about some female fronted Trip hop or are you looking for more singer songwriter type of sound?

The Sugarcubes, you could check them out

I would be very interested in this as well.

If this is what you're after Alfred, get these albums...

Hooverphonic - The Magnificent Tree
Kosheen - Resist
Everything But the Girl - Temperamental

^ All three of them absolute stonkers too.

Try the albums:

Anoice-Remmings
Eivind Aarset-Electronique Noire

Yeah, that would be fine. I've heard Portishead's Third already.

Looking for some Shoegaze that's like Slowdive, Autolux, or Telescopes Thirdwave album.

Try:

Lush
Swirlies
Star
Drop Nineteens

Try:

Etro Anime
Khoiba
Lulu Rouge
Atomica

So a friend of mine recommended the band Built To Spill. Anyone know a good album to start off with them?
