Fantastic new songwriter alert: The Empty Set
Well, this guy is a friend of mine, but he doesn't talk about his music much, so before last night when he played this house party gig another friend of mine put on, I hadn't quite appreciated the fact that he is basically Stephin Merrit.
Either way, the songs on his myspace aren't all perfect, but go to www.myspace.com/theemptysetband and listen to 'Portia I Dreamt You Were Real' and in particular 'Copernicus'. They're beautiful.
