Daft Punk: Alive 2007

[Update] Pitchfork review captures the sentiment well:
Daft Punk Alive 2007

Eddie Vedder - Into The Wild

This movie soundtrack is a sparse, pleasant walk through Vedder's crooning and acoustic guitar playing. Vedder plays every instrument on the album, and wrote all but two of the tracks. Most of the songs are only around two minutes long, but at 33 minutes in total runtime, this album is best ingested as whole anyways.

PJ Harvey - White Chalk

Here is her new album, it is much different than anything else she has ever done. On White Chalk, Polly Jean just sings and plays simple piano, no guitar. The lyrics are sparse, haunting, and she uses her voice as an instrument to set the tone of the album. You could say this is her Sea Change album. Give it a listen then google some reviews.
