Christopher mentioned Sia before (see link), well, she has a new album out on January 8th, 2008 (on sale in the UK on Jan 14th), called Some People Have Real Problems. It looks like her theme for this album is all pixelated "kid" drawings (I think they're all her art actually...).
The pixel art is also extended to her website, which may sound like a cool concept, but I just think it's hard to navigate. Please webmaster, stop using burning bright colors...
Sia Furler was already in the music scene with Crisp, an acid jazz band before releasing her debut OnlySee album in 1997.
She signed to Sony with Healing is Difficult (2000), but didn't get major recognition until Colour the Small One (2004). I first heard of her through the smash-hit song "Sunday" with that crazy video where she's being abused and trampled upon.
So anyway, in an effort to support her fourth album, Some People Have Real Problems, she is going to be on tour from February through March at fairly indie-friendly venues (I'm speaking from experiences because she's actually going to do Minneapolis).
I thought the best song off the new album is "Academia" because of the clever lyrics:
I am a dash and you are a dot
When will you see that I am all that you've got
I'm a binary code that you cracked long ago
But to you I’m just a novel that you wish you'd never wrote
I’m greater than x and lesser than y, so why is it
That I still can't catch your eye?
You're a cryptic crossword, a song I've never heard
While I sit here drawing circles I’m afraid of being hurt
