the heart and the hand

This falls straight into that genre I can't quite describe with Damian Jurado / Daniel Lefkowitz / Low Anthem / Bon Iver / Fleet Foxes et al. How would you describe it? Lo-fi indie folk? It seems almost that you are dealing with minutae of differences with a tag like that but it is definitely its own sound. The Heart and the Hand are a Seattle band with a fantastic back catalogue already and I confidently expect their name to be mentioned when, in years to come, we talk about the great lo-fi indie folk bands or however we choose to describe them. Let's hope it's someone better qualified to define the genre who gives it a proper name!
