Gorillaz, Plastic Beach - "Cloud of Unknowing"

Julia Stone, The Memory Machine - "Catastrophe"
Known mostly for musical partnership with her brother Angus, Julia is breaking away with the debut of her own solo album. This Aussie has a fragility in her voice that contrasts beautifully with a darkness in her songs. "Catastrophe" is instrumentally one of the more upbeat songs that gives a nice break in tone to the middle of the album. Although the name of the song and lyrics surround a doomed situation between two people, I find there is a unique sense of hope that quietly emerges from the song.
