The Head and the Heart!
A very cool band from Seattle. Typical indie-folk music combining traditional instruments and strings, with awesome scratchy vocals and great harmonies. The harmonies really make this band for me, male and female vocals perfectly combined. Not very famous as far I I have heard, but they should be.
Here's a live taster from KEXP:
Cats And Dogs & Coeur D'Alene (Live on KEXP)
They have supported the likes of Vampire weekend, Iron & Wine, The Decemberists, Dave Matthews and the Walkmen!
Their single 'Rivers and Roads' was very popular and was used in some TV shows, including How I met your Mother...and one sports an awesome beard :)
Rivers and Roads
Two more great songs are:
Down In The Valley
Lost in my Mind
Sounds references for me include: Ben Howard, Mumford & Sons, Sufjan Stevens.
Enjoy :)
Sweet. Love them.
