Midnight Musing: Boy & Bear

I figured that most of my posts will occur sometime around midnight, hence the title.  

I was thinking at length as to which song I wanted to first share with everyone.  Let me say it is not an easy decision.  I actually felt a lot of pressure to pick something amazing.  I thought I had the song I wanted but when I looked it up on youtube it led me to another song.. then another.. yeah, this is how I find my tunes.  

Anyway, the song I finally ended up choosing is from Boy & Bear.  A band that until 20 minutes ago I had never heard of.  They are an australian folk rock quintet.  They formed the band in 2009 and have released an EP entitled Emperor Antarctica.  After listening to their EP I would describe their sound as a blend of fleet foxes, mumford & sons, and local natives.  I'm having a hard time finding where to download their music because their album isn't yet available in the US itunes.  But you can get a free download of Mexican Mavis (their single) if you sign up for their mailing list.  Definitely worth it.

I chose Rabbit Song because of the creative video and the "whoohoo-ing".  I'm a sucker for music with whoohoo's in it..  







Hope you like.
