Alternative Singer/Songwriters

Careful not to cut yourself—this is the sharpest edge of modern songwriting, from a selection of the world's most imaginative alt musicians. Immerse yourself in dreamy atmospheres as lilting voices and barely spoken melodies wrap their whimsical tendrils around every note. Strumming guitars give way to aching pianos on offerings from artists as diverse as Cat Power, Bon Iver, and Fleet Foxes.
