One of my best friends introduced me to their single "Little Lion Man" in late July, and then two weeks later I saw them at Lollapalooza and I pretty much can't stop listening to them (with The National mixed in). Any chatterers fans of these guys? Apparently they tore up the charts in Australia and England.
They're a folk band from London, England, and use an acoustic guitar, a bass, a keyboard, and a banjo of all instruments. They mix in some horns and drums from time to time but mainly stick to those. In my opinion, this is the best album of 2010.
Here are my favorite songs of theirs, although I love the entire album:
