The Lumineers

The Lumineers are an American folk rock band from Denver, Colorado. Their self-titled album was recently released on April 3, 2012, peaking at number 17 on the Billboard 200 chart. The Lumineers have a similar folk sound to Edward Sharp and The Magnetic Zeros and The Head and The Heart, the quality of this band really is undeniable. Their best song by far is their single 'Ho Hey', it sounds on a first listen like a feel-good song, whilst on closer inspection the lyrics reference to a lost love, filled with eternal regret. It is this quality of hiding underlying meanings and multiple layers to their songs that makes The Lumineers so special. Their album is well worth buying and is the best debut album I've heard in years.
