the guggenheim grotto-waltzing alone[2005]

i first came across this album during the spring of 2006. this is an incredible album. i'd be VERY surprised to know if many people had ever heard of these guys. if you have, kudos to you. you must be in the "scene"...lol...the band hails from ireland and started making music in 2003 during the damien-rice-dominated year of uk music. that may very well be why this album didn't recieve quite enough publicity to get popular. i just found out that the title track of this album is actually pre-installed on every one of apple's iphones in the u.k. someone must like them, couldn't blame 'em. this album has so many great songs on it. check out "a tear isn't such a bad thing", "told you so", "philosophia"<--the one on the iphone. you'll enjoy this one. i promise.
