I haven’t read all the suggestions, but you might enjoy Grandaddy. Sophtware Slump is a great album.

The Donkey Headed Adversary of Humanity makes a good suggestion!

As much as I like this band, it was more fey than dark…

I recommend checking out [Slim Cessna’s Auto Club](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuhtaVUqaUs), and if you get a chance to see them live, don’t miss it.

They’re long over, but [Thin White Rope](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VzUzKV_h-Y) did some of the most amazing dark psychedelia ever put to vinyl. [Here they are kicking the crap out of a Nancy Sinatra / Lee Hazelwood song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nco5WUb3_YQ).
