the last nick cave album, "abattoir blues/lyre of orpheus" featured some killer gospel choir work.
"this lamb sells condos" off the new final fantasy album.
of montreal in general features spectacular harmonies.
the singalong chorus from sufjan's "chicago".
i can think of more later, but that's a start. at least for recent stuff.

Anyway, enough of them, because we were talking about Electrelane - or rather, we were trying not to, because The Valleys makes me much more inclined to buy a Chicago A Capella album than another one by them.
Some interesting suggestions here - thanks. Will report back. iLiKETRAiNS first, I think. Then György Ligeti.

yeah

There's really nothing else quite like it, and nothing else this band ever released matches it. Or almost any other band, really.
― Turangalila, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 07:34 (eleven years ago) link
agree completely. they're a great band, and it's a great record overall, by far their best, but that song is just...THAT SONG. once in a lifetime thing.

Everytime I listen to Electrelane, I really question why I need to listen to anything else. ever.
especially this song.

yeah but this song is an anomaly. i love it to bits and i love electrelane, but for different reasons.

This is the closest thing I can think of as an equivalent http://www.souljazzrecords.co.uk/releases/?id=16415

this song is amazing, but the recording seems to clip at the end and that always drives me crazy

so I found The Power Out for $6 in the "New Rock Sale Vinyl" bin at Salzer's. It made my weekend. I love this song so much. The rest of the album is great too.

Somehow wish Electrelane had done an album that was pretty much variations on this song.

"Take My Wife" by Seekonk builds to a "The Valleys"-esque crescendo.
