The first is a band called The Mountain Goats led by frontman John Darnielle. The band is basically a guy and his guitar, so expect acoustic folk sort of stuff. The lyrics are very literary and quite poetic if someone were to ask me. Check out the track Broom People off of the album The Sunset Tree, and No Children off of the album Tallahassee.
The second is Elliott Smith, also not so much a band as just a guy. He unfortunately died to stab wounds in 2003, but his recorded music will live on. His distinct vocals can be characterized as melodic whispers, and it's eerily soothing. Last year, an album called New Moon was posthumously released which contained a lot of his early works, and is probably one of my favourite releases from 2007; check out the song Thirteen...it's a cover of someone, but it's definitely worth a listen.
That's all for now. Schwarzl out.
