The Magnetic Fields - "Fear of Trains"
I immediately thought of the Pixies/Frank Black after hearing a few lines from the singer. Instrumentally, it's a pleasant mix of pop and folk with some electronic instruments that aren't overbearing. The lyrics seem to tell the woes of a black woman but they aren't pretentious (and the chorus is catchy).
Next: Amon Tobin - "Slowly"
