They are a folk band in the same vein as Band Of Horses, or Iron & Wine, Belle & Sebastien, Simon and Garfunkel etc.

I think they won Best Canadian Album of the year.

They are playing the Dakota theatre in Toronto Nov 5 if you around. You me and darvlay could go for pints

Ah. They were Shortlisted. I see. I didn't know if you were talkinga bout a Juno or if the Grammy's finally gave us the category we deserved.

I'll check my agenda.

By the way, the Polaris Prize needs to step it up. $20,000 only? I got over half that for giving HBO 8 seconds of a song last year.

Favourite albums?

I blame Spotify for my lack of interest in searching albums from 2009.

Sure he killed himself a few years ago but i think they put some kind of complilation thingy together of Elliot Smith songs.

Try "Needle in the Hay" for a good sample song.
