I saw these guys open for Amanda Palmer and they were OK. I was intrigued, but didn't like them enough to buy their album on the spot. The singer/guitarist has this twitchy demeanor on stage. Their bassist is this tiny little dude (not a midget/dwarf, I think, but really short) and he wears this huge acoustic bass; their second guitarist is a gigantic guy (not obese, I think, but with a good size gut on him) who plays a variety of smaller instruments (mandolin, banjo) that are absolutely dwarfed by him. It's a cool little bit of imagery, though I'm sure it's not done that way on purpose.

I like a couple of their songs a lot, and it probably took me longer than it ever has so far to pick a song by them to post. First I was going to post this, but then cycle through a variety (Red Hands, Black Dresses, Bottom of the Lake) before I settled on my original pick. I like how this song closes a lot. It's got a good variety of moods and really sums up the things the band explore on the album. The track after this, Slowed Down Trip to Hell, is also really great. The album as a whole is paced really well.

Check it out if you like this song, this isn't one of those bands where you listen to one of their songs and then find an album full of songs nothing like it that all suck. Thank goodness.
