I was out running yesterday listening to The Lumineers' pandora station, and these guys came on. So if you enjoy the likes of Lumineers, Mumford, and Head and the Heart (who were all on the station), then you may like these guys. This was the only song I heard:

City and Colour -- The Girl

I did a quick iTunes search to get some more stuff, so here's another sample.

City and Colour -- Comin' Home

Does anyone have a full CD of theirs they would recommend me trying?

It's actually just one guy (Dallas Green). He's very talented and I haven't listened to him that long, maybe a couple of years. I really liked his album called Bring me your love.

Love Dallas Green, one of my favorite solo artists. First took notice of him when he was with the band Alexisonfire. I think I was a junior in high school when I first heard his solo stuff (city and colour). This was a project by Dallas recorded and performed by himself. He came up with the name City and Colour from his own name: Dallas, a city, and Green, a colour. He said he did this because he felt queasy "putting the album out under the name Dallas Green". Up until recently it was just him, I do like the addition of the band though, but it's really just for touring purposes.

Your link Comin' Home is from his first album called Sometimes , and is my favorite of his.

Tracks to check out:
Save Your Scissors
Hello, I'm In Delaware
Casey's Song
Day Old Hate

The Girl is from his second album Bring Me Your Love, which is much more folky. Great album as well.

His latest work, Little Hell, is his most band oriented album, although he recorded most of the instruments himself. My favorite track from that album, and ultimate get your girl in the nude track, We Found Each Other in the Dark, is one of his best songs ever.

Reminds me of Kate Bush or Bon Iver.
