Zopilote Machine
by Romain GuillouA folk guitar playing melody and rhythm accompanied by a nasal bleat. And yet, John Darnielle's Zopilote Machine has something terribly awesome: energy and emotion. The energy passes through the incredible production, whereas the emotion lies in the simple melodies and the pleadingly sincere vocals. Besides being an excellent album, Zopilote Machine contains one of the best songs ever written, "Going to Georgia."
