    Great song to illustrate your list -- will check out the Laura Marling - never heard of her.

    Augusts1, I liked:

    Erykah Badu - New Amerykah, Part 1: 4th World War

    Duffy - Rockferry

    Santogold - Santogold

    and the TV on the Radio tracks I listened to.

    But I focused on the albums/songs that, for whatever reasons, really demanded that I listen.
