monsters of folk - the right place
[from wikipedia: Monsters of Folk is an American band, consisting of Jim James from My Morning Jacket, Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis from Bright Eyes and M. Ward from She & Him.[1] The band was formed in 2004 when the members were on tour with their respective bands and solo projects. After playing together both on-stage and backstage, they started working together on various material. Due to the members' main projects, Monsters of Folk did not wrap up their first album until 2009, and it was released on September 22 on Rough Trade.]

[though a majority of the zooey deschanal and m ward (aka she and him) album, volume one, was recorded between los angeles and portland, it took a performance in austin texas' sxsw to make them official. paying homage to the music that influenced the duo, she & him are currently touring the US with their retro pop sound. it's taken me awhile to warm up to them (for personal issues against zooey), but i'm now a fan.]
