Milk Carton Kids

Another recent discovery - the Milk Carton Kids:


Wikipedia: A refreshing alternative to the foot-stomping grandeur of the so-called folk revival, an understated virtuosity defines The Milk Carton Kids to the delight of traditionalists and newcomers to the folk movement alike. Indeed, Garrison Keillor has called them absolute geniuses in close-harmony, and has invited them onto A Prairie Home Companion three times in 2013, while cultural purveyors like T Bone Burnett and Billy Bragg continue to refer the importance of The Milk Carton Kids among a group of new folk bands expanding and contradicting the rich tradition that precedes them. The Los Angeles Times lauds their latest Anti- Records release, The Ash & Clay (March 26, 2013), as displaying absolute mastery of their craft while Paste emphasizes the "intellectual sophistication of their songs".
