diamanda galas - plague mass
nick drake - pink moon

the marble index should be somewhere in the mix, too.

Anything Nick Drake really.

fair point, though he has a few tracks that would probably be considered sort of upbeat.

hazey jane in particular.

The song “Strange Fruit” by Billie Holiday

Yeah "Strange Fruit" is pretty FREAKY.

When I first saw the photo of NICO I also thought that it was a photo of the other GIRL who sings another song in TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN:

CHROMATICS "SHADOW" (Official Video)

I have seen Twin Peaks: The Return as well. They do look very similar

Apparently it's just that ONE PHOTO where they look so much alike, because if you also search out other photos of NICO you can see how she doesn't look that much like the other girl who sings the SHADOW song.

Here's another different photo of NICO, for instance, that's was also taken at the same time where you can see the difference:

So it's just the lighting and the play of SHADOW on her face that gives the impression that they look more alike than they do in other online photos that you can find of NICO where she looks even more different???
