Conner Youngblood

I first learned of Conner Youngblood after hearing him on another music related blog.   I fell in love with the the song Australia after the first listen. I felt you could really hear the influence of Bon Iver anther artist I was enjoying at the time. It's soothing and mello with a hit of a slightly disturbing yet pleasing electronic distortion in the background. 


Here is his bio taken from his last.fm page. 

"Conner was born and raised in Dallas, Texas and currently attends Yale University.
With a pretty eclectic overall sound, his style is ambient and organic with some electric flair.
His music is influenced by the likes of Duncan Browne, Bon Iver, Elliott Smith, Sufjan Stevens, CSN&Y, Ray LaMontagne, Kid Cudi, Gorillaz, Sigur Ros, and Clarence Ashley.

He plays charango, ukulele, banjo, piano, and guitar. He plays around with accordion and oud and harp.  He wishes he could play bag pipes, sarod, and cello."



Here are a couple of tracks for your listening pleasure.
