Swans - Swans are Dead
Think this could be the last Swans album I need. It's a double CD of two live shows from latter era Swans recorded in 1995 and 1997 where they chilled out ever so slightly... very very slightly. It's still pretty brutal stuff - case in point this little number sung by Jarboe, enjoy:

Carissa's Wierd - Songs About Leaving
A proper Carissa's Wierd album this time, it's lovely. It's all gentle piano's, plucked guitars, mournful violin and sad sad vocals - it's got a similar feel to another one of my favourite bands Sophia, although maybe without the crushing emotion and a little less country about it. Plus they have very good song titles.
