Blonde Redhead.

They have have beautiful, layered guitars and poppy, yet dark lyrics/melodies. I recommend that everyone at least listen to a few of their songs.

I stumbled upon them searching through iTunes one day, and was really interested in the general mood that I thought their music expressed. Coincidentally, I saw the same cd I sampled the next day for 5 dollars at a music store. The album I bought is called "Misery is a butterfly". It is wonderful. I have been listening to it nonstop for the past week.

I have 23 which this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7FqUNlEdwA) is from and like it a lot. I used to have a copy of Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons as well but wasn't as thrilled by it.

I've only heard 23 and Misery, but both albums are pretty solid.
