    I'm honestly obsessed with them. I would kill to see Jeff Mangum on his upcoming tour, but all the shows are on the opposite side of the US :(

    Yes and yes.

    Elvis Perkins in Dearland anyone? SO GOOD. The Antlers (not really lyrically, but in general). Fleet Foxes!! The Shins (yes, cliche, but they do have some good lyrics..).

    Glen Hansard, yes! I've seen him twice. Once w/ 'Iron and Wine' (also amazing), and once as 'The Swell Season', but his band mates from 'The Frames' were also there. So very good!

    And yes, I've definitely seen 'Once'!

    Another absolute favorite I've been listening to a lot lately is Lightning Dust. Infinite Light is a fantastic CD start to finish.
