I’ll admit I know very little about modern music outside what I occasionally hear in a movie or on my commute. So I rarely remember song titles or artists but every once in a while something sticks. So based on these songs I do recall–which I think all have a certain similar sound/style to them–recommend some additional music for me to check out: “Another Story” - The Head and the Heart “Ho Hey” - The Lumineers “I and Love and You” - The Avett Brothers And in a slightly different vein: “Simple Song” - The Shins “The Walker” - Fitz and the Tantrums Thanks so much for any input. 🙂 ---

Okay, I’m gonna plug The Way Down Wanderers; my cousin’s the bass player but also I really dig them.
