Everybody needs to listen to them. Mumford & Sons.
My friend came in while I was sleeping last night, and put a CD and a pack of cigarettes in my purse with a note that says "#5 is you".
This was #5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_Od0PJp6GI
I have never heard of these guys before. They are amazing. Amazing. How do musicians distill so cleanly the trouble in the spirit of human relationships? And how did my friend know so perfectly exactly what I needed?
Whenever someone says there's no good music anymore, I want to ask them, are you going out? Are you trading mix discs with friends? Are you on the internet, following links? Where are you finding this bad music, because every time I turn around there is someone new making music that blows me away. Completely.

Woot hang on, will listen
The music is amazing, so is his voice, after the first 1:42. Intro is too long.
But yeah, other than that, this is some cool ass shit.
Okay, done. Interesting...an all-acoustic band in 2010. He has a strange voice, which is usually bad but isn't in this case.
They do look and sound suspiciously Irish, though.
Nice! They're tapping the same emotional vein in me that Counting Crows did and that's a rarely tapped vein indeed.
I'm pretty sure they're AMerican (haven't researched 'em yet... I literally just put that CD in the car this morning. There's something about them that reminds me a LOT of Johnny Flynn, although they don't sound similar really. If you're not familiar with Flynn, check him out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou2M5VSNvjo&a=hQNjy0oZ5UQ&playnext_from=ML
Love love love
Hahaha I looked them up and they are TOTALLY irish
You nailed it!

I can smell 'em. Right through the plasma screen.
I really like the intro part, lyrically speaking; it sets up the rest of the song really, really well IMO. It also has a lot of personal pull, having been that girl.
You guys haven't heard of Mumford & Sons before? In the UK, they released a frankly amazing debut, and were promptly cast into popfolk-mainstream-dom by Radio One, and then proclaimed "too mainstream" by the indie scene, and "too indie" by the mainstream. That said, a lotta people, including me, still love them.
I had never heard of them before this morning. I love them.
That was damn fine. I like me some wrenching music done all acoustic. The end was the best. The sort of wordless sounds a person makes when they don't know what else to say.
This is the real emo.
The lyrics for this song are fucking crazy perfect.
Can you lie next to her
And give her your heart, your heart
As well as your body
And can you lie next to her
And confess your love, your love
As well as your folly
And can you kneel before the king
And say I'm clean, I'm clean
But tell me now, where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart
Oh tell me now, where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart
A white blank page
and a swelling rage, rage
You did not think
when you sent me
to the brink, to the brink
You desired my attention
but denied my affections, my affections
So tell me now, where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart
Oh tell me now, where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart
Lead me to the truth and I
will follow you with my whole life
Lead me to the truth and I
will follow you with my whole life
I'm really enjoying them. Thanks Nigel.
Yes, very nice!
Nigel, do you happen to have any mixes uploaded?

Not even a single one. I have no idea how to do such a thing, actually.

That's a shame. I'd love to hear what you've put together.
Started uploading mixes a while back for friends I don't get to see much anymore. It's nothing fancy, you just bundle all the music files with an m3u (playlist) file into a zip file and put it on a site like mediafire.
Anyway, great stuff.
