Pretty solid picks, Paladin and one80, I'm gonna try to one up your choices though.
It's so fucking tragic that Phil Elverum's (The Microphones, Mount Eerie) wife passed away of cancer a few months back.
He was always one of my main favorites, and they had a young child together. I can only imagine what he's been going through.
This is an excellent B-Side from "The Glow pt.2"
Elliott Smith is probably my favorite non-instrumental musician. Really just incredibly humble, talented, and prolific.
This has always been one of my favorite lesser-known (?) ES tracks. It was recorded between either/or and XO, but never showed up on either album.
