Out May 1 - Ana Roxanne “Poem 1” LP / CD from Kranky.

Singer / songwriter / experimental artist Ana Roxanne has a follow-up to critically acclaimed debut Because of a Flower. Muted piano, plucked bass, synthesizers and strings all contribute to a Lynchian atmosphere on this album.

Throughout the course of Poem 1, Roxanne displays her skill as a singer and songwriter in the classic sense, using the limited instrumentation simply to accent her exposed tones.

The Dead Texan by The Dead Texan released on Kranky in 2004.

...an audio-visual musical duo comprising Adam Wiltzie and Christina Vantzou...

Wiltzie began composing and recording the music on his own and dabbled with combining his music with Vantzou’s videos...The music is similar to that of Stars of the Lid: long, droning, and ambient soundscapes, and reminiscent of the film music of Zbigniew Preisner and Georges Delerue. However, the songs on the album are shorter, and lyrics can be heard at times, unlike Stars of the Lid's songs which are exclusively instrumental. In fact the songs released on The Dead Texan were initially intended to be released as another Stars of the Lid album, but it was ultimately deemed, as Wiltzie put it, "too aggressive." - Wikipedia

Our Bed Is Green by Charalambides, self-released in 1993 and re-released on Kranky in 2005.

"Charalambides founders Tom & Christina Carter create a vision of music as transformative force. Touching on the outer limits of acid folk, psych rock, and improvisation, their sound remains iconoclastic and personal.

Since 1991, Charalambides has released many recordings on labels like Siltbreeze, kranky & Wholly Other. "

Temper by Benoît Pioulard, released on Kranky in 2008.

Daniel Levin Becker wrote for Dusted:

..Temper differs little in composition from Pioulard’s first full-length, Précis: guitars first, then processed instruments and tinny rhythm tracks, found noises and drone interludes, a few distinct incarnations of Pioulard’s (er, Thomas Meluch’s) weary, preoccupied coo. The songs are short, sometimes more like sketches and almost always shorter than they could justifiably be, bleeding into one another like neighboring transmissions on some ghostly shortwave radio...
