I said maybe.....
I've been quite liking Pinkshinyultrablast (didn't realise it was one word) from hearing them on Radio 6 a good few times but I usually buy CDs in batches when money allows and haven't got around to getting it yet but probably will. Although not particularly alternative in a shoegaze way (although I do feel they drift that way in parts) the latest Daughter album is currently getting a lot of play when I'm working and don't need my ears.

I'm also loving Tricky's current re-emergence and hopefully a bit of a rebirth of Trip Hop.
I bet Moss. On the first album there are times on songs like Human when I almost don't want the tracks to step up but stay spacious. It's a bit like a few years back there was the track Whirring by The Joy Formidable. I bought their album when they were unsigned and the earlier version where it didn't break into the heavy instrumental and it just was sublime.
Between Elena Tonra and Nadine Shah you have some of the best alternate female vocalist since PJ IMO.

Recently discovered thier labelmates 'The Murlocs' too, another young Oz band, who have a new LP out.
Good to see the Efterklang guys back albeit in a slightly different guise. The Liima album is out today, and I've got tickets to see them in Edinburgh next month. Hope they are as good live as Efterklang were - one of their gigs in particular is very near the top of my mental list of best live music experiences.

In terms of new releases, I'm quite enjoying DIIV.

And these guys. Anything on Erased Tapes is always worth a spin.

+1 I recently got a bit into Lubomyr Melnyk on the Erased Tapes site, I really like his collaboration with James Blackshaw, Whose 12 string American Primitive sound is really enjoyable.

Really great thread by the way, been struggling to find some more esoteric recommendations recently.
My feedback thread is here.
