It's not a current infatuation, but Mark Lanegan's solo work is amazing. He was the lead singer of the Screaming Trees, one of the Seattle grunge bands that never made it big. The lyrics are amazing and the music feels like a bad night in a dark room. "Ugly Sunday", "Methamphetamine Blues", "Woe", "Driving Death Valley",and "Down in the Dark" are some of the standouts with Kurt Cobain providing backup vocals on the last one.
