Into Open Land

You already know that my favorite band to tout is the Fleet Foxes but here's another musician I'd like to bring to your attention.

Ian Case just put out an album of absolutely unbelievable acoustic double-neck guitar music. That's right, a double-neck guitar. Which means 18 strings over two fret boards. Ian's a cross country ski racer so even if the music wasn't fabulous I would still endorse supporting him but it is fabulous so even if you don't care about skiers you should check out his album.

Ian's the only person I've ever seen (or heard, as far as I know) play a double-necked guitar and it's one of the most mesmerizing musical performances to watch. Ian said that he composed the music to capture that feeling of going out for a run and ending up somewhere you've never been before and not wanting to ever turn back. So if you've ever been looking for a soundtrack for some of your adventure back country skiing, this might be it.
