tuesday tunes - civil wars: barton hallow.

i first mentioned the civil wars last may, after seeing them live a couple of times and loving their first ep, poison & wine. and now... the rest of the world has realized their awesomeness, too. the duo released their full-length album, barton hallow, a couple of weeks ago and was the #1 album on itunes! i had the pleasure of seeing them live the day after the release, and fell in love with every song on this album. beautiful, haunting harmonies... simple, catchy melodies... strong, mysterious lyrics. joy and john paul just do it right.

listen for yourself... here's the title track, "barton hallow":
