Today I want to give a shout out to Berlin by-the-way-of Melbourne rockers, Devastations. Mixing smoky bar room ballads and slinky arrangements, fans of The National and Nick Cave will go crazy! Her...not so much. Give "Sex And Mayhem" a listen - dark and sensuous, optimistic yet cynical, but totally legit.

My wife demanded that I get the album on the strength of the single track -- She mentioned I should point out that these guys sound even more like the Tindersticks than Herr Cave, so fans of Tindersticks shoudl check them out.
The full album is available on eMusic (10 tracks) for those who have an account--I'm downloading it now.
Thanks for the extra info, Peter! It's a solid album.
