Rufus Wainright - Release the Stars
I've just given it one listen so far, but it's a beautiful set of songs - astonishing combination of singer-songwriter ethos with powerful and unique orchestrations.

The album bogs down a little in the middle, but overall very strong, better than his last. We'll see how it holds up to listening again.
