Rachael Yamagata
"Collide"
Rachael Yamagata EP
Official Site | MySpace | iTunes | Lyrics
Similar Artists: Fiona Apple • Norah Jones • Leona Naess
Rachael Yamagata made a splash in 2004 with her full-length debut, Happenstance. She's often compared to Fiona Apple and Norah Jones, which seems correct. Female singer? Check. Pianist? Check. Love songs? Check. Great songwriting? Check. She used to be part of the "Chicago funk-fusion band" Bumpus and this song also appears on their album Stereoscope.
She's currently working on her second album she hopes to release by the end of this summer. Here's a teaser that she posted on YT.

I've been on this Japanese kick lately ever since stopping over there this past June. I made a Japanese music compilation that I might post on here too. Well, Headlights are a three-piece band from Illinois. In 2004 they released their first EP, The Enemies EP, which is where this song is from. They're signed to Polyvinyl Records, which is also the label of Architecture In Helsinki, Matt Pond PA, Of Montreal, and many others.
