Nacho Picasso and 88 Ultra

Seattle rapper Nacho Picasso just released a pretty nifty little dark hip-hop album with 88 Ultra (one half of production duo Blue Sky Black Death) called "The Witchtape."  Check out the Julee Cruise and Angelo Badalamenti sampling "City Streets" below and download the album here.

Blue Sky Black Death

Though the name sounds like they should be some sort of spiritual black metal act, Seattle duo Blue Sky Black Death actually create pretty and trippy electronic music for the late night set.  New album "Glaciers" flows and ebbs like moving shadows, great hovering clouds of rain pouring their contents on a grey and dirty city.  Take a listen to "II" featuring Child Actor below and look for the album on Fake Four.
