Definitely give Mogwai and Low a go.
Also try Godspeed You! Black Emperor

and a must would be Dirty Three - specifically Horse Stories and Ocean Songs albums...honestly, doesn't get much more "depressing" than that.

also, early Cat Power and early Throwing Muses and Kristin Hersh

I don't know how helpful this might be, but I'll say:
the sad songs from that Ben Folds Five album like "Smoke";
most Aimee Mann, especially "Lost in Space";
or just try side B of Bjork "Debut"- not exactly depressing, but kind of sad, and "Come to Me" is such a nice song.

Wilco is kind of depressing to listen to, but in a different way

The last 3 songs on the debut cd by Band of Horses (I know...what a stupid band name, but the cd is great). Anyway, the last 3 songs are really beautiful. Remind me of my girlfriend who moved back to Thailand in May.

My Morning Jacket's It Still Moves & At Dawn cd's have some incredibly intimate moments on them which can fit well when you are depressed. I especially love much of the end of It Still Moves...just gorgeous stuff.

Good luck with the emotions, King. Hope it gets better for you soon.

Lou Reed's record Berlin is extremely depressing, yet somehow Sad SOng usually makes me feel better in a weird sort of way.
