Best New Old Thing?

What's the best new old thing you've heard this year? By this I mean an 
old musical endeavour that you've only just discovered and fallen in 
love with.

Mine would have to be The Poppy Family:

Although I loved Terry Jacks proto-Goth classic 'Seasons In The Sun' as 
a kid, I'd never heard of this previous band with Susan Pesklevits.

It's some of the strangest pop music I've heard. If I had to sum it up, 
I'd say they sound like a Goth Carpenters. Where every normal, sunny 
60's pop song goes 'tweet' and 'twoot' and 'look at the purty burdies', 
they go 'death' and 'madness' and 'her very blood was in his veins.'

It's excellent stuff. There isn't that much on the web about them but 
quite a bit in Google Groups. 

Check them out if you like doomed, mad, 4ADish pop music,
