Set 'Em Wild, Set 'Em Free
An experimental folk-influenced rock band from New York, I first heard these guys on a radio station in San Francisco in which their song devolved into a free-form jazz thing that was amazing. There are so many different styles being fused together in their music, some of it is really challenging, but then at times, like on 'River', it just shines through with a pureness that can't be beat. Very diverse, very talented group that takes turns playing on different instruments during their live performances. The lyrics on 'River' are easily my favorite in a song this year...and that's saying a lot.
