joanna newsom- have one on me

Some nice folk music with very, very sweet vocals. Sometimes, just sometimes, music like this is absolutely essential.

this one's big

Bon Iver

Ever wondered what staying in a cabin in Wisconsin during winter while gazing out into the snow feels like? This is it. Bon Iver's For Emma, Forever Ago is a testament to "all of his personal trouble, lack of perspective, heartache, longing, love and guilt". It's a beautiful, simple and heartfelt record.

julie doiron-i can wonder what you did with your day

Found this on some blog some time ago, and to be honest, this is one album I am glad that I found.

So this Julie Doiron is some Canadian singer-songwriter that used to play bass in Eric's Trip, and is now pursuing a more-or-less successful solo career. After going through this album a few times, it looks like this experience has done Julie nothing apart from a world of good. Acoustic guitar laden over raw, over-driven electric guitar, or is it the other round? Either way, putthat damn Sufjan Stevens record down and give this a listen.

shiiiiiitttttt

Beirut

Pretty famous (albeit not as famous as some of us would like) one-man indie/folk project. One of my favourite artists of all time.

Mediafire

Something special...

and definitely not too popular, Comus with what i think is their first full-length, First Utterance. Eccentric, sometimes freaky sounding prog-folk. Apparently this release has had an influence on Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth, mainly because of a line in the track Drippy Drip. My Arms, Your Hearse. Pretty disturbing artwork for such an album. Either way, enjoy.
