One of the most influential singer/songwriters ever, influencing artists from Bright Eyes and Beck to Eels and TV On The Radio. Very underrated his music is hard to listen to sometimes the lyrics don't seem much if you just read them but when he sings them they really hit.
Catie sent me The What Of Whom and I liked it but didn't listen to it much I do more now. He has a high pitched, and very childlike voice, he also writes from that same perspective about rather dark themes. Its kind of hard to listen to just because of how emotional it is, i've yet to hear an artist who can sound anywhere near as painful as him.
Fear Yourself isn't as lo-fi as The What Of Whom but easier to get into, and it mostly deals with relationships but its a fantastic album all the way through changing from piano songs to guitar songs to full band songs. I
Favorite Songs: Love Not Dead, Syrup Of Tears, You Hurt Me, Mountain Top
