Of the Cathmawr Yards
I will give any band who culls both it's name and the name of their debut record from a Dylan Thomas short story the benefit of the doubt. But such an advantage was never needed here. The slightly weird, but always wonderful 'Of The Cathmawr Yards' from Chicago band The Horse' Ha is one of the most distinct, and one of the best, albums I have heard all year.

I like the sound of this one. Too bad I can't find it anywhere at the moment.
