Typhoon — A New Kind of House

Astounding acoustic/folk/indie/Arcade Fire, etc. music

Indie
Stephen Carradini
I love music with depth. Give me a complicated arrangement with lots of instruments and a gnarly lyric to be parsed, and I’m happy as a clam.

Country
Stephen Carradini

Matt the Electrician — Accidental Thief

Maybe the Avetts’ long-lost brother?

Folk
Stephen Carradini
Banjo-playing Matt the Electrician actually was an electrician before he took up music full-time. This sort of earnest, workingman’s dignity powers his pop folk.
