Anything from Wilco's Sky Blue Sky
Anything from Interpol's Our Love To Admire
especially this song-
New Music: Interpol: "Pioneer to the Falls" [Stream]
The men of Interpol have kept us waiting three years for their third album, Our Love to Admire. "Pioneer to the Falls", the disc's moody (what else?) opener, doesn't rush to make its point, either. Nor does it disappoint. A dark, brittle guitar line similar to pre-Turn on the Bright Lights live rarity "Cubed" (also known as "Mascara") joins sparse piano and melancholy strings before Paul Banks' harrowed, Jim Morrison-like voice comes in, again beseeching patience: "The soul can wait." Interpol's rhythm section enters a verse later, then drops to a heartbeat on a bridge that floats in space-- "You fly straight into my heart," Banks croons, distant yet vulnerable-- until at last a trilling guitar solo soars above it all, for an emotional effect similar to the one generated by the solo on Radiohead's "Creep". "I felt you so much today," Banks concludes, as rumbling toms and rising orchestration contrast with that stately opening riff, betraying impatience, perhaps, but no hurry.
The National is also worth checking out. I love these tunes:

Happy listening, lonelysheep.
