Awesome sentimental folk-rock-pop that has "Seattle" stamped all over it. Everything has a wistful indie sensibility and feels like it's been given a nice coating of light gray. If I wasn't outside I'd swear it's raining right now. All tracks recommended, but start with 5, 1, 8. FCC safe.
RIYL Neko Case, Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses –Andy

**1 - (4:09) midtempo, simple, gently wistful folk-pop with strings and great muffled echo-backs on the vocal lines
2 - (3:12) soulful, pining indie folk
3 - (3:01) softly anxious acoustic pop
*4 - (3:02) midtempo, full-bodied folk-rock
**5 - (2:32) big grungy electric under a striking Nirvana-meets-Fleet-Foxes vocal line (where is this guy from again?)
6 - (1:53) slow, quiet, spooky
*7 - (4:01) slow and mournful, with scattered noise creating a great murkiness
**8 - (3:02) slow folk waltz with creep-in full band accompaniments
*9 - (2:28) Band Of Horses-style indie-country-rock waltz
10 - (3:48) plodding and appropriately wintry
*11 - (3:03) voice-and-acoustic folk song, simple, sad, sweet and effecting
12 - (2:28) slow and quiet; Nick Drake at a late-night campfire
