New Mexico

Beauty through strange circumstance: a wrist injury and a European trip have produced such such an interesting sound. Zach Condon's inability to grasp a guitar neck led him to play ukulele, and after dropping out of high school to tour Europe he became influenced by Balkan gypsy music.

gets compared to Stephin Merritt (Magnetic Fields) and Morrisey, fair enough, he's witty, romantic, and melancholic. all the same, he makes some good friggin' music.
