Dum Dum Girls, "Lord Knows"

 

 

It's a song that gets in your head.  And I'm a sucker for melancholy, shivery guitars and echo-drenched ethereal women's voices, so there's that.  (Are we talking ethereal voices of women or voices of ethereal women?  Does it matter?)  Julee Cruise, Cowboy Junkies, this tune.  A couple of Raveonettes songs, though their stuff tends to be slicker and grungier, like an oil leak underneath a 1950 Indian.  Boys can sometimes go there, too: Julee Cruise shimmered more with Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch writing material for her, but, actually, I was thinking of some Chris Isaac, though maybe he doesn't ever go dark enough.
