Seattle seems to be producing quite a spread of special musicians. You may recall a rather famous off-spring from Seattle, Kurt Cobain. Depending on your age, I suppose. Recently I was introduced to a new group and they go by the name BAND OF HORSES. I'm a big Bon Iver fan and although this sound is slightly more commercial it still has the same ethos. Go have a listen to 'Older' and 'Factory'! The latter of which reminds me of the movie 'Almost Famous'.
Below is one of their more recognizable songs entitled 'THE FUNERAL' which appeared on the 'One Tree Hill' soundtrack.
