One of the most pleasant albums to cross my ears of late is Vandaveer’s upcoming offering, Divide and Conquer. The creative output of Mark Charles Heidinger, Vandaveer is a breezy take on traditional folk music (“this generation’s Nick Drake”) that most certainly will please regular readers of this site. While the album will not be available for a few more weeks, I highly encourage you to download the title track below.
If you like what you hear, check them out at The Hideout in Chicago (September 4th) or the Project Lodge in Madison (September 5th). Full tour dates can be found here.

This is the second time I’ve been really pleased by new music today. I’ll be picking up this full-length sometime soon. I’ll also be picking up Strict Joy when it comes out. You should head over to NPRs Tiny Desk Concert series to see their lengthiest set yet (complete with that series first-ever encore)from The Swell Season.
