RAISED BY SWANS

Cherchez La Moose: I almost classified these guys as Lost In The Wilderness, but they finally released their long-awaited sophomore album No Ghostless Place earlier this year. Raised By Swans' debut came out at a time when the soft rock fad popularized by bands such as Coldplay, Keane, and Snow Patrol was starting to turn people off. We Were Never Young is a single from the new album, and it thankfully has found an audience because it was also used in the Atom Egoyan film Chloe. The song gives me chills, and it has a timelessness to it that leads me to believe that Raised By Swans have more to offer than their more popular peers.
