Jeremy Messersmith -  A Girl, a Boy, a Graveyard

Through Tumblr, I discover new musicians all the time but very few of them I immediately take a liking to. Someone I follow posted a Youtube video of Jeremy Messersmith a few days ago and his 2010 album, The Reluctant Graveyard, is now in heavy rotation in my iTunes.

Some critics have made the argument that Messersmith’s three first albums are a sort of trilogy; which is particularly apt considering he is a huge Star Wars fan.

More folksy and quiet than the rest of the album, A Boy, a Girl, a Graveyard is more of a story than a song. With its soft acoustic guitar, violins, echoing vocals with beautiful lyrics. It’s a combination I’m a for which I am a complete sucker.
