Monsters of Folk

Conor Oberst, M. Ward, and Jim James have teamed up to create a supergroup, Monsters of Folk. Needless to say, I'm really looking forward to hearing the music these three great artists have teamed up to create.

Apparently, this formation has been discussed since 2004, when all three musicians performed together for the first time.

The album is set for release on September 22nd of this year, and it contains 15 tracks. Mike mogis is the producer. Need I say more? Probably not.

It's a wonder that they have been able to really give their attention to this project, considering the fact that all three artists have released a combined 5 albums since 2008. (Conor Oberst released two solo album, M. Ward released his own album, as well as She and Him, and of course Jim James released an album with his band My Morning Jacket.) Amazing dedication? I'd say so.

There's no music available for preview, so don't try to search for an official myspace or anything of the sort. However, they have put up a website for the project. You can visit it by clicking here.
