the civil wars: barton hollow.

A couple of nights ago I decided to use the rest of the iTunes gift card money I had leftover from Christmas. So, I'm just browsing around, not really looking for anything in particular. Then, on the homepage, under the new releases section, I see this pretty little album cover...

I'm kind of a sucker for a really great guy/girl duo. So, I had to check it out. They are The Civil Wars, and they are beautiful. I'm so happy I clicked that little thumbnail. I've been listening to this album repeatedly the past few days.
Before purchasing I listened to all of the previews of their songs and I enjoyed every. single. one. That's pretty big for me. Usually I like most songs on an album, but hate a couple. Or hate a lot, but like a few. That was not the case for this album; I love everything. A few of the songs are so beautiful that I was actually brought to tears. (I'm kind of a crybaby, anyways...but not really when it comes to music.)



The entire album, 14 songs, is only $7.99 on iTunes. So if I were you, I'd just take the plunge and buy it. 




Those are just a few of their songs. 
If you give them a listen, tell me what you think!

  2. I didn't know Dana Delaney and Johnny Depp were in a band together! Music sounds nice. Modern music is so overproduced; I like their minimalist approach.

  8. I love this! I was just listening to a great guy-girl duo who also happens to be folksy. They're my friends, so perhaps I'm biased, but I think they're pretty great and that you'd like them too. http://www.myspace.com/silentwhys
