Seeing as Hymns for a Dark Horse was released way back in 2007, I am embarrassingly late to jump on the Bowerbirds train, but after one of my fellow DFTD bloggers posted on them I promptly grabbed the album and haven't really wanted to listen to much of anything else since. They sound a bit like the love child of Andrew Bird and The Decemberists, conceived while Danny Elfman's score for Beetlejuice played in the background. So, yes, they're absolutely my bag...

(And if you liked that, then you really must watch them perform "Bur Oak" in a candy store on The Take Away Show. Really. You must.)
