This is probably the best thread to post the new album by everyone's favorite sexist angry uncle, Sun Kil Moon.

Unfortunately, I think it's another strong effort, despite the fact that Mark contines to act even more offensive and cantankerous. Any thoughts?

Benjamin wetherill - Laura : excerpts ( 2008 )

 

Nothing is straightforward about Ben Wetherill. Despite sporting the classically gaunt features and clothes of a 1930s English poet, there is no easily explained centre to his mix of originals and covers. Songs stop and change time signature and direction, his voice small and quiet but demanding attention, his influences deep and wide, a bit of John Fahey, some George Formby, old-time acoustic blues men, English folk, Woody Guthrie. - See more at: http://www.reddeerclub.co.uk/artists/benjamin-wetherill/#sthash.9izaVDrK.dpuf
