Relaxing Songs

Iron and Wine - now there's a bloke I've wanted to get into for a while. I keep seeing a huge collection of CD's in HMV and I'm always tempted to pick one up out of the blue. What would you consider his best or most accessible?

Also, This Will Destroy You need to release something new. Like... yesterday.

The only Iron and Wine cd I've listened to is The Creek Drank the Cradle, so I can't really compare to any of his other ones. That one has a lot of slow, acoustic folk music. Pretty nice, and it has "upward over the mountain" on it, which is my favorite. The songs could get kinda same-ish after a while though.

Looks like you can listen to all of The Shepherd's Dog on his myspace page. That album sounds a lot different from The Creek... seems he's gotten more people playing instruments, whereas The Creek was just him playing his guitar and singing.

As for This Will Destroy You... I might get to see them next week if I can manage to drag someone along with me.

Or in 4 weeks? http://magicbulletrecords.com/mailorder.html
If you pre-order, you can also get the shirt... the one with the "EPIC artwork".......

Explosions has left Texas off their schedule :(. But I'm guessing they'll add us in a little later, hopefully.
 
That's a sweet deal but if I'm quite honest with you I think that t-shirt/album design looks like crap. :( Not that I'd know except from films, but it looks like the kind of shirt you would see at some place in America like the Grand Canyon or some forest reserve, or some other tourist attraction.

Still, gonna order it anyway. Love Magic Bullet Records. Some great stuff on there.

Yeah, I think the design is meant to look cheesy patriotic as a joke. Especially when the vinyl comes in your choice of either "Red White or Blue" :P. I will probably get the cd and no shirt. Also on Magic Bullet -- if you haven't heard any Sparrows Swarm and Sing yet, check out their "O' Shenandoah" album. They sound kinda like Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
 
Fo' the Counties by Jon Young is always relaxing
also,I find Music is Math by Boards of Canada very relaxing
