2: The Early November, Minus the Bear, Jeff Klein
For the relationship-related verse, few have done it better than The Early November. Now, with their latest Acoustic EP, they've taken a great sound and boiled it down to seven really beautiful songs. Since their last album their vocals seem to have improved, but are still rough around the edges enough to remain powerfully immediate.
No free downloads on this one, I'm afraid, but if you've got iTunes check out The Acoustic EP by The Early November.
One of the more independently-minded bands you'll find nowadays, Minus the Bear is great music in an unfamiliar package. With a strong, unusually deep-voiced lead singer and occasionally rough-edged guitar work, their sound is a welcome change from the prevailing sweetness of the age.
Check out Monkey!!! Knife!!! Fight!!! and Hey, Wanna Throw Up? Get Me Naked for free or stream music from their multimedia site with (evil) RealPlayer.
For a smoother sound, check out Jeff Klein. With a voice foreshadowed by the cigarette and drink on his album cover, his songs are melodic and melancholy, with strong rhythms that carry you along with the sound of his voice.
Again, no free stuff on this one, but check out Jeff Klein's new album, The Hustler, on iTunes.

Oooh, I like Minus The Bear. They've got a great sound, modern but also kind of grungy. And they're from Seattle, which, you know, makes them cool.
I've never heard The Early November before... hmm, it's good. I'm suddenly very calm.
