Best I check it out then.

It's the first one that I listen from them but I think it's absolutely stellar stuff.

Generally I'm no fan of young singers - in my experience people need some life experience and abusive behaviours to get the sort of interesting afflictions and some emotional power in their delivery and craft.

This morning on the drive to work I heard the latest kid our national radio station have "discovered" as part of their ongoing "unearthed" project. Kat Edwards, 17 year old school girl from Tasmania and this is her new original tune "Stranger in My Room". It is quite amazing. Her influences are Ray Lamontagne, Angus & Julia Stone and Bon Iver.

Check it out (takes a few seconds to start up):

I wanna say thank you to SNC for inadvertently introducing me to this wonderful band.

Yep, been a most enjoyable recent discovery. Thanks!

Thanks abnorman.

Been wanting to try out The Rutabega, just finished listening to Brother the Light's Don't Work, didn't like it as much as I expected to.

That's one of my favorite albums of this decade and one of the best things I've discovered thanks to this forum

I'll probably try again sometime soon.

The only band that could ever pull off being obviously influenced by the Doors without being completely insufferable.

It warms my jaded heart to see youse guys getting into Silkworm!!

I'm listening to Developer right now. How would you, a seasoned Silkworm fan, rank the albums?

Its never set in stone, but everything from Libertine on, I ride for. They're a fascinating band with a really interesting history. A few years back someone made an excellent documentary that tells their story way better than I ever could muster.

2. Firewater
3. Developer
4. It'll Be Cool
