13. The Hotel Ghost - Lay Me Down

This young Canadian singer's music is some of the most powerful singing and composition we've heard.  It's big words, but with sounds that are akin to Billie Holiday composing dirges on a cathedral organ, you will have to agree.  This song, comprised of deathbed wishes is, fittingly, both startling and comforting.  Temporarily recording under the moniker of "Basket of Figs" she is now known as "Cold Specks" - you might also want to be on the lookout for new material in late 2011!
