"This is better than those bands you mention there. An alternative description would be this: what Arcade Fire would sound like if they where actually as good as people say they are."  Reply

"Sandy Denny's debutalbum is a quality collection of intimate songs with a melancholic mood. Her voice is crystal clear and few ladies were in her league at the time. Folk was never better than this"  Reply

"Sylvan Esso's fusion of quirky folk and earnest electropop is instantly charming, at least to me, because it feels like the most natural outgrowth of North Carolina's divergent yet complimentary music scenes: the folky LEAF festival scene, which is really a celebration of the natural beauty of th..."  [+]  Reply
