Sadcore folk music. Matt Bauer (website) makes pitch black music founded on just his voice and banjo-playing. From that point on, this music is built layer after layer of melodramatic gloom in the form of brilliantly orchestrated folk and country music. Matt's voice is incredible in it's trembling and conveying sentiments of sheer melancholy, sometimes accompanied by the equally fragile voice of Jolie Holland, which results in an incredible contrast of duetting male/female voices. I've been sitting on writing a review about this since its release, and would like to mention that this is probably my favorite record released this year.
