Modern songs w/ violin

[tanner_f]

I'm looking for some modern songs with violin in them. Any genre is fine, no classical music though. Not that I dont like it just not what im looking for. This is the song thats got me wanting to hear more violin. If anyone has any suggestions I'd really appreciate it.

@tanner_f, Sigur Ros uses a lot of violin in their music.  The singer also likes to play a guitar like a violin which makes for some interesting sounds.

They definitely do have an interesting sound, very soothing. Do you know where they're from?

And I can't stop posting Andrew Bird. I didn't even realize he'd released a great album this year.

If you don't mind gypsy punk Gogol Bordel has some. Emilie Autumn, and The Head and the Heart are pretty good too.
