Wouldn't call them "cool".

Surprised to hear this, I'd have thought their demographic was 16-25 for sure.

I'm a big fan of a lot of indie folk, but every genre has it's cliques. Definitely check these out if you haven't already

Where Shall You Take Me? by Damien Jurado

The First Days Of Spring by Noah And The Whale

Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle by Bill Callahan

Excellent. These three are next.

I'm kind of going to rain on the parade, but I looked them up and to me they seem like another dime-a-dozen indie folk bands (mumford, lumineers, of monsters and men, passenger) that were all the rage in the charts going three years back or so.

There's a huge amount of great folk music by actual folk musicians out there, I don't usually think a bunch of guys in flannel shirts that look like me singing vague affectionate poetry over the top really adds much.

Seems like they have a devoted niche fan base, but perhaps people feel the same why I do, which is why they're less hyped up.

Honestly I'm surprised they have such high production music videos, some really nice work on that front.

That's what an umbrella is for. If you aren't into it, you aren't into it.
You're right about their videos though.

Haha. Didn't leave. It's ok. I can take the punishment.
Best thing about music is that it's totally subjective.
Loving the top 10 on your chart btw.

Anyone else totally hooked on this band?
Couldn't believe they don't really show up on this site.
