I'm looking for new acoustic stuff... I've listened to quite a bit of Damien Jurado, Iron & Wine, Red House Painters and Sun Kil Moon. Not necessarily as depressing as the above mentioned, but I'm really leaning on anything acoustic (very minimal on other instruments). Would appreciate any recommendations. Thanks.

For some good upbeat acoustic jams check out Langhorne Slim.

Hey Carlito's Way, long time no see. There are a ton of great recommendations here.
Off the top of my head: Elliott Smith Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's Howl A lot of Bob Dylan's stuff Some Bright Eyes Some Cat Power The Tallest Man on Earth - Shallow Grave ----- Never say you miss her, never say a word. And do everything she'd never do. |

Hey FKA... nice to see you again bro.
I especially liked Elliott Smith, I've always seen his name around but just never bothered to look up what he's all about I guess. I've also been exposed to some Cat Power and I do like some of her work. There are tons on the other thread you pointed out, I haven't really looked through them all though due to time constraints. Either way, thanks a lot man. By the way... have you heard of The Airborne Toxic Event? They're not really acoustic in the strictest sense, but some of their stuff I really get into. _______________________ Caligo non est aeterna. |

I very highly recommend Kaia, who is probably my favorite voice in folk music today. She is more known for being in the Butchies and queercore band Team Dresch, but her solo albums are wholly acoustic, both catchy and moving. I think there are some samples on her last.fm page.

Matt Costa. His first album is very good, sweet indie folk. Second... eh, not so much, even if "Lilacs" is an excellent song.

Hey man. I have been doing all right, for the most part. I am glad you were able to get some recommendations from the thread I linked. There are also some great suggestions on here. I haven't heard of that band though. I will need to check them out. Take care. ----- Never say you miss her, never say a word. And do everything she'd never do. |

I can't get enough of that album! And it's the perfect soundtrack to the onset of Spring these days. And I know alot of people on these boards have a hate on for them but in my opinion The Foo Fighters acoustic disc from In Your Honor is also really good. Takes a few listens though. |

Band (album)
Hayden (Everything I long for) City and Colour (Bring Me Your Love) Daniel Lanois (Shine, Acadie) |

I definitely recommend City & Colour, I'd say Dallas Green is one of the best Canadian folk/acoustic artists out there. I never really listened to much of his work during his Alexisonfire days, but his solo work has been pretty good. _______________________ Caligo non est aeterna. |

Blind Pilot - heard a piece about them on NPR and liked the sound of them - vocals similar to the Shins, nice mellow indie/folk sound. Their new album is available on emusic. Stand out track is Ovieda

Another good band I forgot to mention... :P I don't know if I'd compare the vocals to those of the Shins, James Mercer's voice always seems much less melancholy than the vocalist for Blind Pilot.

Rogue Wave, especially their first album, Out of the Shadow fits the bill. Maybe some Calexico, Fleet Foxes and Johnny Flynn as well.

José González- He's from Sweden. Has an acoustic sound similar to Iron and Wine but doesn't whisper quite as much. He's really good.
