Monsters of Folk - "Say Please"

Monsters of Folk is a band that started out as a side project.  Each of its members are in other bands: Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis from Brite Eyes, Jim James from My Morning Jacket and M. Ward is a renown solo artist/producer.

The band was formed in 2004 when the members were on tour with their respective bands and solo projects. After playing together both on-stage and backstage, they started working together on various material. Due to the members' main projects, Monsters of Folk did not wrap up their first album until 2009.  That year, they released their one and only album as Monsters of Folk.  The self-titled record cracked the Billboard Top 200 at #143 and peaked at #3 on the U.S. indie chart.

From the Amazon site review: All four members play every instrument on the album, supplying everything from drum kills to cascading backing vocals. The songs – some road-worn fables, some intimate and intricate with electronic elements, some woozy and sun-soaked – are everything one expects from these four musical minds collaborating together. The album exudes a warm, organic spaciousness, filled by brilliant choruses, intoxicating harmonies and effortless melodies, as each member brings his own strengths to the table to create one perfect whole.

Well there you go...Our song today is "Say Please" and I think you're going to like it.
ENJOY!
