The Way the Wind Blows - A Hawk and a Hacksaw [2006]


Pretty much, one of the coolest albums from one of the coolest bands i've ever heard.

The band consists of Jeremy Barnes, who was previously the drummer for Neutral Milk Hotel, and violinist Heather Trost.

The music is inspired by eastern European and particularly Balkan traditions, and is mostly instrumental with occasional vocals, shouts and cheers. Very similar to Beirut.

Fantastic album. Get it RFN.
