Tragic Magic by Lattimore & Barwick popped up as a recommendation for me. The cover is some enchanted forest with a couple of damsels, a harp, and OMG a fawn. Seriously, I'm never going to listen to folksy new age crap like this. But for some reason I hit Play anyway. And of course, it started off sounding exactly like it looks. But I was too lazy to hit Stop after the first track.

TL;DR it turned out to be my favourite album of the year so far.
