DM Stith (for fans of Bon Iver, Dept of Eagles, Grizzly Bear)
This guy is absolutely incredible.
His album Heavy Ghost is unbelievably good. I know it's going to end up as one of my favourites after just two listens.
It's on the Asthmatic Kitty label, and the album features Rafter Roberts, My Brightest Diamond and Sufjan Stevens.
I urge you to check it out (although it's not on Spotify- grrr)
"In order to not genre-fy this stuff, I’ll just say DM Stith writes with an acoustic guitar, a voice, and boatloads of rhythmic ideas that take beautiful songs and make them into heartbreaking pieces that could sit sweetly in your ears but rather, tend to jump around in your head with a heartswelling, manic velocity. It’s organic music for a digital age that will make you stop, sit, get up and move in ways you didn’t move before you heard it."
