Finian McKean (TNT opener tonight)

When I first listened to Finian McKean's album, Shades are Drawn, I must say I was a little surprised. The two tracks he has on his website were fine and all, but they didn't strike me very much. So when I finally got around to listening to the whole thing (accidentally backwards to front), I liked it. A lot of blogs have mentioned him recently, and have posted the two tracks available on the site. To it justice, I am going to post two other tracks today, two that are definitely worth your time. I reminds me a little of Gomez and a little of Devendra Banhart.

Little Beggar (mp3)
Fortune Cookie (mp3)

I've clipped off the "hidden track" from that second one.

So, yeah. He opens for Tapes 'n Tapes tonight. Tell your friends, and get there early.
