Fans of folk music like Devendra Banhart and Sufjan Stevens take notice, Viking Moses might be your ears new best friend. The man behind the Vinking Moses name is Brendon Massei, who has played with the likes of Cat Power, Songs:Ohia, and Will Oldham. Be on the lookout for the new Viking Moses release Jahaliya, which features the songs below.

I’ve read that a live performance by Viking Moses usually results in him performing the majority of his tunes while kneeling, you’ll have to head over to his Myspace site for a picture and more info.

Here are a few MP3′s. I can’t recommend these enough.
