We seem to overlap quite a bit, don't we?
Weather Report is really more of a jazz fusion/world beat band than anything else, but had one of the absolute best bassists of all time as well as really tight, inventive arrangements.
Robyn Hitchcock was the leader of the Soft Boys, and I guess he'd be considered somewhere between neo-psych and jangle.
Olivia Tremor control is neo-psych and is part of the elephant 6 collective that also includes Neutral Milk Hotel. Great music for aging hippies.
I'll have to check out frightened Rabbit. I've heard of them (probably through Pitchfork), so I should take a listen
thanks for the recommendation.
