I've been seeing more and more people listening to him recently. I've only been into him for about a year or so now? Heard him half a year prior to that, but didn't actually start listening to him/have any albums until I got this issue of Guitar World Acoustic (I THINK it was around a year ago, doesn't matter anyway.) with him and Beck in it.

He's part of the New Weird America Movement and has been called "Freak Folk" blahblahblahblah

Anyone else listen to him? He's pretty fucking awesome.

Never heard of him before. I don't yet know if this is a good thing or not, but I think his music smells like Dr. Pepper.
