King Charles

Greetings everyone.  I recently came across this London-based singer/songwriter King Charles...he's yet another example of the recent UK folk-rock resurgence, and has ties to Mumford and Sons as well as Laura Marling.  The music is quite a bit more playful and lighter than either Mumford or Marling (in general), and in some ways reminds me of a more folky Vampire Weekend.  Some of it is a bit too ridiculous for my taste, but there are a few really good songs.  Check out this music video for my favourite, "The Brightest Lights".  Here's another song that's pretty typical of his stuff: "Mississippi Isabel".  If you want to hear more, his album "LoveBlood" came out in May of this year, and is on grooveshark.
