Howdy,
I know it stretches the imagination a bit, but there’s an indie-folk band in Seattle that sounds like a cross between Kings of Leon and Iron and Wine. They are called the Cave Singers and they are wonderful. As I listen to this trio of folk-hipsters the words that keep running through my mind are mournful, wistful, and soulful. And oh yeah, beautiful too, sorta. They’re going into rotation this week.
Dig Deep,
Calvin
