These United States - I Want You to Keep Everything - Everything Touches Everything (2009)
- 3rd album in 3 yrs
- Their debut was one that I immediately latched onto, but it took a re-release to drive up the following this band deserves.
- Jesse Elliot, lead singer, writes some fantastic lyrics to go along with the layered Americana progressions.
