The Swell Season

I just discovered The Swell Season. No, not the book—the band. Here’s one of their songs:

I’m really impressed with them so far. Apparently, they almost won a Grammy for the song “Falling Slowly,” which appeared on the Once soundtrack, but lost out to some song from the Dreamgirls soundtrack.

Also, I’ve recently discovered some of Regina Spektor’s other albums (most notably, Soviet Kitsch) and I’m really digging those. I’ve always admired her music, but I’d only heard one album (Begin to Hope), and I couldn’t get into it as much as some of her other stuff.

    These are two of my favorites! The Swell Season was just in town and I was sad we missed them. I don’t have their new album, but I can burn you copies of the first Swell Season and some various Regina Spektor. Her new album (Far) is very good as well. Hope to see you guys soon!
