Two great songs from The Mountain Goats

Silversun Pickups - "Lazy Eye"

This tune really grows on me the more I listen to it took me a bit to get used to the singers voice.

Phantogram - When I'm Small

Barthel and Carter were friends since junior high school, but Phantogram didn't officially form until 2007. That summer, Barthel returned home dissatisfied with pursuing a visual arts degree and Carter returned home after a brief stint in New York City with Grand Habit, an experimental band formed with his older brother, John.[2] The two friends reunited and then worked on finishing some beat ideas Carter made earlier. They then finally formed the band.

Bon Iver - Flume

Love it!
Bon Iver are a band that I listen to randomly when I am in the right mood, but when I do listen to them I find them fantastic.

Last Song by Clogs

New song by Clogs featuring the outstanding Matt Berninger. (The National)



This is a superb song!! I will be checking out more of the clogs and if this track is anything to go off I can see an new album purchase on the cards.

Ray Lamontagne - Empty

Raymond Charles "Ray" LaMontagne (born June 18, 1974) is an American singer-songwriter. Reportedly, after hearing a Stephen Stills song, LaMontagne decided to quit his job at a shoe factory and pursue a career in music.

Till the Sun Turns Black was a top 40 hit in the U.S. A soft-spoken person who is known for his raspy voice, LaMontagne has won a number of awards for his music and has performed at several charity events.

This track is from the Till the Sun Turns Black album



I adore the violin on this track, it sits in the background perfectly.
