Nick Robin

Label: None
Genre: Folk, Slowcore

I recently bought this and this from Insound. The package they arrived in included the usual 2:1 ratio of collateral marketing material to music product. Among the collateral was a small, square glossy catalog/zine. The theme of the issue was "indie rock road trip" and it was actually a pretty good read. However, nowhere did it mention perhaps the best driving-themed song I've heard all year: Nick Robin's "Drive-On". Nick's slow, careful folk glows with yearning. And it's got vibes, which earns automatic bonus points in my book. Go buy the album here. (Many thanks to Lise for the suggestion.)
