this is why i still read pitchfork. every once in a blue moon, they will have a review of a band that really piques my interest. after listening to some audio clips, i have to say i think these guys would appeal to a lot of obnerites...imagine iron & wine with jim james (of mmj) singing instead of sam beam (jim beam?)

here's what 2 of my favorite magazines have to say:

uncut (4 stars) "squares the circle between nick drake, early neil young and will oldham"

mojo (4 stars) "beatiful bittersweet, drifting, late summer melancholia"

read the pitchfork review here.

the album reviewed actually came out in 03, but was just realeased in the US. it looks like they have a NEW new album out in canada right now, not to be realeased here until august.

Listen to some audio clips here.

i'll be ordering both albums today.

I have Bodies & Minds and it's quite the goodness.

well, that's one band i just dropped from your tourney mix... i'm sure its replacement will do just fine, though.
