IN CASE YOU MISSED EM...

Monsters of Folk performed "Say Please" live on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. Check out our earlier post of MOF from today.

MONSTERS OF FOLK

Monsters of Folk is comprised of Bright Eyes’ Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis, My Morning Jacket’s Jim James and singer/songwriter M.Ward. Although these critically acclaimed artists have shared the stage before, this album marks their first recorded output as a band. All four members play every instrument on the album, supplying everything from drum kills to cascading backing vocals. The songs – some road-worn fables, some intimate and intricate with electronic elements, some woozy and sun-soaked – are everything one expects from these four musical minds collaborating together. The album exudes a warm, organic spaciousness, filled by brilliant choruses, intoxicating harmonies and effortless melodies, as each member brings his own strengths to the table to create one perfect whole.

"Monsters of Folk is an honest-to-goodness debut album from a band that deserves consideration for merits entirely their own—not goodwill earned by the principles in their regular gigs." - Stereo Subversion
