Hands up, who's a fan? *raises hand*

They're some wonderful folk/rock/indie/acoustic with some shards of alternative rock. Go listen if you haven't already.

They're a real gem of a band. ENJOY
(admittedly O VALENCIA! is way more enjoyable live)

I prefer Stephen Colbert.

I had a chance to see them a few weeks ago along with My Brightest Diamond. I fell asleep on the couch instead.

My Brightest Diamond was alright (i hear they're better on record) and they put on a really fun show.

Colin Meloy might have the most annoying voice in the biz. not bad otherwise.

I have gotten into them massively of late. Moreso Picaresque... The Sporting Life and The Mariner's Revenge Song are both super-cool lyrically. And others, but those are the two I really like.

Haven't been around this part of the woods in a while...

Anyway..I LOVE these guys. People who loved Picturesque seem to slam The Crane Wife but I think the latter's a very good album. My favourite song by them is "Crane Wife 3" followed very closely by "The Infanta", "We Both Go Down Together", and "The Island".
