HELLO. I am bored of my current rotation of artists. Find me new ones! Similar to these categories:

A) kate bush (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv0azq9GF_g) / bjork (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgk360PZJ7w) / bat for lashes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EICkZWEzFGE)

B) tegan and sara (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKuamrz7QKY) / tender forever (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNroJ07w1J8) / the weepies (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBzA76QGgz8)

C) xiu xiu (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CgKO2haaAo) / xiu xiu (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMXeLMH4rpo) / xiu xiu (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OijWHn3L8Ss)

So, that'd be: angry sassy weird banshee-like ice queens of song, cute and simultaneously depressing folkish or popish stuff, and ... xiu xiu-esque!

Go, find me music!!

If you don't know her already, it wouldn't surprise me if Diane Cluck suited your tastes quite well. A few examples:
The Turnaround Road (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ev-cmRQWX-4)
Easy To Be Around (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLSMp9rO9cw)

Also check out Emmy the Great:
We Almost Had a Baby (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG-XKr5vkQk)
Two Steps Forward [Black Cab Sessions] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2q_Lpk2JUQ) (The BCS themselves are a great source for finding great indie music)

What about La (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUsbpmQ9-mc) Roux (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ1Mi77nogQ)!

Oh Rantz and kikimm, you know my taste so well~

edit: uhm, that we almost had a baby song is really sad despite sounding really happy o_o. I've heard of La Roux before, but never really gave her (them?) a chance. I am enjoying what you posted, kikimm. esp. bullet proof.

There is nothing out there like Xiu Xiu!

What about Joanna Newsom for the first category, or even Laura Marling.

What a coincidence, I got an album by La Roux yesterday and I don't even usually listen to that sort of stuff!
