These Friends Of Mine!


Rosie Thomas's new album, "These Friends of Mine," an understated collaboration with the always Godly Sufjan Stevens, is an elegant, quiet and sweet listen. It could be this season's definitive "Sunday Mornings In Winter" album.

One track in particular, "Much Further To Go," stands out. Thomas's mellow acoustic guitar strums and Steven's trademark banjo help highlight the incredible vocals and beautiful lyrics. The song is about NYC, and if it's any indication of what Sufjan's New York album (whenever it might come about) will sound like, I for one am damn excited.

"Friends of Mine" doesn't officially release in stores until next year, but, it's available now on iTunes.

I'll (hopefully) be back soon, with a post about my favorite songs of 2006.
