Elvis Perkins, Ash Wednesday (XL, 2007).
So yesterday I mentioned the fun new Horrors record. Today, I need something ... gentle. So enter Elvis Perkins. This record -- his full length debut -- is fantastic. It's straight ahead folk rock music. Great lyrics. Catchy melodies. This is an album that you can listen to every track, in order. You get to the end, and you can repeat. You won't get bored. This might be my favorite release of the year, thus far.
