falsetto.

Hi Stephen, greetings from Peru. Thanks for the add and the comment! The Escape Artist is epic, absolutely brilliant; I literally stopped everything I was doing when I heard you guys perform it on Tom's show so I could have a better listen. I was really impressed by your performance, so I added the album version to my myspace profile player for a few weeks. Can't wait for your album to come out!!! Luckily for me, I found the Union Chapel show and some other of your songs on Last.fm.
