Remember Passenger? No? Let Her Go from All the Little Lights made Passenger internationally know, and don't get me wrong it's a great song and an even greater album. But the problem is Let Her Go isn't what passenger is, and so that popularity quickly faded away. Since then Passenger has been quietly continuing to make his own brand of Folk music, and doing it really well. Songs for the Drunk and Broken Hearted is a great example of what this Artist can really do and is a good starting point if you've only ever heard Let Her Go or never heard of Passenger at all. This is a melancholic and beautiful album that is definitely worth a few listens to fully appreciate what is being done. People also completely hate it, that alone should make you interested.

3 Choice Tracks: Sword from the Stone, Remember to Forget, London in the Spring
Hey Comus! I remember your avvy: weren't you the one with First Taste or something at one point? Anyway, I got into Passenger by accident, bought ATLL and really loved it, but I haven't really had a chance to explore any more of his music. Will put this one on the (very long) list.

And welcome back!
