"In The Mouths of Wolves" reminds me of "Beth/Rest" by Bon Iver

I listened to Generals tonight; pretty good! I'm going to give the other album a listen now.

The first album is more folksy, singer songwriter type stuff. But that description doesn't do it justice, their music isn't as compartmentalized as describing it like that makes it sound.

The second record is definitely more upbeat though.

Finished the first one...pretty good. Easy to put on at work, that's for sure, which is a good way to internalize the melodies and choruses. Once that happens it's really easy to get into a record.
