@reubent - thanks for the welcome. I have been posting a bit over the last few weeks and enjoy the thread. Funny, after speaking about it I put on Noble Beast. I really like that album and it sounds great. But if you have not yet heard Armchair or the album before it, Mysterious Production of Eggs, which is phenomenal, they are highly recommended.
A friend turned me on to Armchair (and Andrew Bird) right after it came out along with Boxer from The National, which released at almost the same time, I spent the next 5 or so months spinning those over and over. Could not turn them off.
Hope you enjoy.
