Anyone listened to this guy yet? I want to know what he is like.

I don't understand how he is popping up so high on so many lists when I had never heard of him.

I've read a couple of magazines about how the magazines are trying to go all hipster on us and throw in something we haven't even heard of. The wikipedia article explains a bit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_of_Denmark_(album)
It was made with Midlake so it's not completely unheard of, it's defined as soft rock and deals with themes of "his past struggles with alcohol and drug addiction and coming to terms with being gay".

^I quite enjoyed that song Davey. I might take a look at the album though, probably won't make my list though, unless I am incredibly blown away, my list is so tight this year.
