I heard the song "Ho Hey," by The Lumineers a while back on my local indie radio station and I became pretty infatuated with the available songs on grooveshark. They recently released their first full album on April 3 and I'm been listening to it like crazy. Especially digging "Stubborn Love," and "Big Parade." Hopefully I can get to their show in Chapel Hill later this April, but grad school dependent.

Here's a short description from the site: "The roots revival of the last few years has primed listeners for a new generation of rustic, heart-on-the-sleeve music—the kind that nods to tradition while setting off into uncharted territory. The Lumineers walk that line with an unerring gift for timeless melodies and soul-stirring lyrics."

They're from Denver and you can listen to their entire album on their website: http://thelumineers.com/

Quoting this from a bit ago because it's easily the best new folk album I've come across thus far in 2012. Holy poo poo it is good.

I'll also drop a quick namedrop for The Rural Alberta Advantage as being a very good new discovery for me.


edit: And I think Octoberman as a folky rock band that rules needs to be mentioned too.

Hey, someone toss me a new album suggestion. I've been through this entire thread; but I literally have spotify on for 8hrs+ a day and that means I run through music insanely quick.

Latest two items that really hit me just right

The Lumineers - The Lumineers
The Head and the Heard - The Head and the Heart

(that said, I can really throw The Head and the Heart the same level of endorsement I'd toss to The Lumineers).


edit: VVV Quick listen so far so good, will give an album a full run. Thanks VVV

Searched the thread and NMD, didn't see anything, so I'm gonna go ahead and pass on a recommendation for The Novel Ideas who have a few albums up for name-your-price (no minimum) or free at their bandcamp and Spotify. It's standard folk-rock that doesn't really break any boundaries or anything, but I've been enjoying their album Home a bunch lately. Definitely worth checking out if you have some time.

Took me a bit to get into this; but I'm really enjoying it now.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Ok, so I''ve been digging on some upbeat(ish) folksy songs lately, such as "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, or "Little Talks" by Of Monsters and Men. Anybody know of any songs that might be seen as similar to these two? Or even bands that produce similar music. Thanks!

Try The Head and the Heart and The Lumineers edit: Lumineers already suggested, so I'll tack on Milo Greene

If those two songs get you going, both of those bands are going to be instant-winners.

Is anyone familiar with the work of Chad VanGaalen? I have to respect someone that writes a Fleet Foxes B side-esque song and calls it "Shave My Pussy". Also his animation is trippy as hell.

Chad VanGaalen is the loving bomb. Not sure what else to say aside from being some of the most unique albums I've heard that are still catchy.
