Yeah. Not a big fan, though. Are you familiar with Epica? I like what I’ve heard of them.

The Romanovs used to have their album for free download under the lead singer’s name, Morgan Grace, but it looks like they no longer own that domain, alas. They also have a wonderful cover of “Scarborough Fair/Canticle” that’s just breathtaking if you can manage to track it down.

No, it is Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton. I’ll grant you that her music isn’t the most upbeat around, but most of it is stunningly beautiful.

Give the song [Our Hell](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwMj8pGpIKE) a try. Also check out [Winning](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StdBsUzJDTA&feature=related) which isn’t on her Myspace page.
