Klimt 1918 - Dopoguerra
I discovered this this Italian band sometime last year after reading a review about this CD. I read that their music sounds like it was influenced by bands like Katatonia, The Cure, Coldplay, Anathema and U2 and it does sound like that. Their stuff is more upbeat than Katatonia's music but still not really happy music. You should still give them a try though if you like Katatonia's latest stuff. You can check out some songs here: http://www.myspace.com/klimt1918
Anekdoten - Gravity
Can't remember when I checked out this band but it must have been about 2 years ago. Anekdoten are from Sweden, one of the world's centrals of melancholy. Imagine Katatonia's "Last Fair Deal Gone Down" and King Crimson's "In The Court Of The Crimson King" in one record and you kinda have an idea what this sounds like. Beautiful but sad stuff and definitely music for rainy days. If you enjoy the last 3 Katatonia records and love a nice 70's prog atmosphere in your music, then check out this CD!
Here are some samples:
