Hello everyone,
I just wanted to take the opportunity to let you know about a great band which I stumbled upon tonight. They're called the Red House Painters. Their sound is very acoustic and folk like and the first song I heard was "Trailways." It's a beautiful, melancholy song with a very unique finger strumming technique. They remind me a lot of Belle and Sebastian... even the voice of the lead singer reminds me of Belle's lead singer. Also they have a sound much like Nick Drake. I recommend you check them out. I plan on getting their album "Song for a blue guitar."
Also, I'd like to mention that I'm really pleased to hear the Smiths and Morrissey being mentioned on the list. I find the Smiths to be one of the most influential bands of our era and no one has the ability to write lyrics like Morrissey. His lyrics are clever and extremely innovative. I envy his songwriting ability. Anyway, for those of you who are beginner Smiths fans I suggest you check out their self-titled debut album and my favorite... "Louder than Bombs." Also, if anyone is interested in Morrissey's solo work, I recommend "Viva Hate" and "Vauxhall and I." - Mark
