The Hope Arsenal

I came across this guy on noisetrade today.  He sounds like an more much epic and orchestral version of WASHA.  It's an extremely powerful and well-executed blend of indie-folk and electropop, with really redemptive lyrics.  The combination of instruments, and the building dynamics in each song give it a pretty unique intensity, which is particularly well complemented by his understated, deep but very tuneful voice.  It's extremely good.  Check it.  There's a free download on noisetrade.
