Fourtet's amazing. He's Kieran Hebden, part of Fridge. His first album, Dialogue, is jazzy, effortlessly cool. Like Fridge, there's a huge amount of 'real' instrumentation invloved, and the entire album shows an ability and imagination that's astounding.
The second album, Pause, ranks alongside Yokota's Grinning Cat as one of my favourites of the year so far. It sounds a little less freeform than Dialogue, but is just as good. It's got a kind of acoustic, oriental feel to it. Again, the Amazon review sums it up well.
Second the Leila recommendation. Courtesy Of Choice is pretty damn good, too. Maybe not quite as acomplished as Like Weather.
I was going to recommend Future Sound Of London (Dead Cities being a record that I constantly find myself going back to), but they seem to have disappeared off the face of the earth. Plums (or anyone else, for that matter), you any idea where they are now?
