I'll have to check this out later on. Thanks!

Wow. I've heard of one of those bands.

ditto...the modern lovers for me

yep

Only heard of Five. Modern, Islaja, marissa nadler, feathers & josephine foster. All very good.

yes, excellent mix.

if you're into this style, keep an ear out for Fonal Records releases. One of my fav labels.....superb music from dem Fins!

jackson frank was in my top 10 or so on listmania list. He's pretty great although probably not quite that great. I really dig Francoise Hardy too.
