I stumbled across these New Yorkers last week on an NYC blog and I've been tuning back in intermittently since. They've a gruff richness and purity in their sound, which could - as their video depicts - have well been recorded in an Autumnal woodland setting, with stripped-back percussion and acoustic harmonies aplomb. 'Ahh Real Monsters' is a favourite, with the singer's almost reaching baritone with his vocals, redolent of Arcade Fire's Wyn Butler, but with a country twang at the hilt of his pronunciation. There doesn't seem to be much other info, unfortunately - no tour dates, no bio, etc, so settle for some streaming goodness and their hic baiting video at the link below.
