Naevus

There is more than one band called Naevus. 1. A London-based Welsh duo formed in 1998 by Lloyd James and Joanne Owen, later including band members John Murphy (of Associates, KnifeLadder, etc.) and Greg Ferrari (of Womb).

More obvious similarities can be found with groups such as Swans, Luxuria, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds and David E. Williams.

Magdalena Solis

http://magdalenasolis.com Lush warm sonic swells, all wreathed in thick swaths of serious psych guitar, the sound constantly shifting from tranquil and dreamlike, to blown out and druggy/droney and way tripped out, heady and hypnotic and easily some of the best kaleidoscopic kosmische space/drone/psych we've heard.
