Monsters Of Folk

Monsters of Folk/ Monsters of Folk

Melancholy Indie Folk with an alternative-country vibe. Conor Oberst (of Bright Eyes), Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes & Lullaby For The Working Class), Jim James (of My Morning Jacket) and M. Ward (of She & Him) Nice guitar, keyboards, and supporting synth/wurly/steel sound effects. Think Bright Eyes meets country folk. Similar to Bon Iver, Wilco, Fleet Foxes. Great sound! FCC CLEAN!
