What genre would this song be classified as? Or, can someone reccomend similar songs by other artists or similar artists whose musical landscape embodies this?

It's dark outside right now and I haven't had any physical or verbal contact with anyone all day so this is really fitting my mood.

The Concretes and Trespassers William remind me a lot of Mazzy Star.

Cat Power's 'Moon Pix' is a perfect gloomy day album. That Trespasser's William album kicks ass...d/l 'Vapour Trail', it's an awesome ride cover.

Yeah, that is a nice one. I think the next album might have been a little better overall, but some damn fine songs on So Tonight....I'd call it maybe, droney folk rock, but some might differ. Nina Nastasia has been doing some songs like that one. On her last album it was mostly a somber acoustic affair, but in the middle she broke out with a very Mazzy Star-like take on Superstar that really makes me feel good. And on The Blackened Air she did a phenomenally good one called Ocean that goes on for what seems a very quick 6 minutes. Cat Power does some nice stuff like that on her Moon Pix album and even has some of that same Dirty Three backing that Nina used on the last one. Maybe even moreso on the one before where she covers a song or two from then boyfriend Bill Callahan of Smog fame. And since I was speaking of Steve Albini productions with Nina, he also did a very nice job on the Edith Frost Wonder Wonder album as well as a couple of the latter day Low albums that work with that same droney sound. Anyway, I completely agree, nice song, and I could probably go on all day, but that's all for now :)

Listen to Lowlights, Canyon, Neko Case Blacklisted, early Spiritualized, anything spacey with reverb. I've only heard Mazzy Star So Tonight That I Might See, and I really love its gauzy textures. Hope Sandoval's voice isn't too bad either.

frostingspoon tends to agree, but replaces "isn't too bad either" with "causes crotchoreal flow."
