Island Wren

I apologise for my infrequent posting.  No free time these days.  This evening I give to you: Island Wren.  I had never heard of this group before they popped up on noisetrade a few weeks ago, but I was instantly enthralled.  Listen to their EP here on noisetrade.  Their music is genius indie-folk rock, with very prominent banjo and violin parts.  Here is a video of them performing one of their more poppy songs live; it's quite good.  The band seems really young and a bit nerdy, and slightly unpolished, but the sheer amount of talent is hard to ignore.  I hope they go a long way.  You can listen to all their music (and download it) on their bandcamp.
