Tift Merritt -- Another Country (Fantasy)
Judging from the songs she played at Raleigh's downtown New Year's Eve celebration (City of Oaks, hollahhh!), this album is going to be the delicious missing link, stylewise, between "Bramble Rose" and "Tambourine." Can't wait!

Goldfrapp -- Seventh Tree (Mute)
