Monsters of Folk - Monsters of Folk (Shangri-la)
Yes!! Jim James (My Morning Jacket), Conor Oberst & Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes) and M. Ward make beautiful music… together! Folksy, harmonic, complex themes. If you didn’t like Bright Eyes’ early “whiny/emo” phase (which I personally loved), have no fear. Sure there are love songs, but Conor continues to mature and here everyone contributes equally. More basic, guitar-driven ballads (ish?) with the emphasis on folk.
Yes: 11, 2, 15, 4 ….
No: 10
