Monsters of folk
 

indie super group Monsters of Folk is set to release their debut album of the
same name on Sept. 22

they have released their first single "Say Please"

what are your guys thoughts??

I'm pretty excited for it to drop, they're all very talented musicians, and anytime Conor and Mike get back together for something its definitely worth hearing.

i really wanna know how the work is distributed

who writes the majority of the lyrics?
who sings the most?
is there any one of them who influences this album/band more than the rest?

Who's in the band?

M. Ward, Conor Oberst & Mike Mogis from Bright Eyes and other Saddle Creek projects, and Jim James from My Morning Jacket, pretty impressive lineup if you ask me.

You might be interested in this video interview, they go a little in depth about working together.

I have to confess that's like a who's who of indie people that I find annoying. But I'm happy for you that you're excited about it. :)

I never really caught on to the whole My Morning Jacket craze, but I think M. Ward is fairly enjoyable and Conor Oberst of course is one of my favorite musicans, him and Migos working together is really the only pairing I'm excited for.

I never really liked My Morning Jacket and M. Ward always bored the hell out of me. I am excited for Conor and Mogis though.

Also Monsters of Folk is a pretty misleading name for a band that doesn't have Will Oldham or John Darnielle in it.

I heard The Sandman the Brakeman and Me single on the radio and excitedly followed up on it. I was disappointed to find out that their debut hasn't even dropped yet & no leaks to be found.

Pretty much the reason why I just downloaded their self-titled.
