TRACK OF THE NIGHT: Dear God (Sincerely M.O.F.)



Monsters Of Folk / Dear God (Sincerely M.O.F.)

Monsters Of Folk are a supergroup made up of Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis, Jim James of My Morning Jacket and M. Ward. This, the opener to their self-titled debut is an absolute dream. Almost reminiscent of the sound of Marvin Gaye in his What's Going On heyday, Dear God is a lush heavenly sounding letter to God, filled to the brim with flowing harps, delicate guitar strings and a gentle beat. Not forgetting the incredible vocals of Conor, Jim and M. Ward which saunter along as they break into some truly angelic harmonies. This is literally music sent from heaven and has to be one of the best album openers I've heard all year. It seems that Monsters Of Folk have smashed expectations by creating some truly timeless and beautiful music.
