Grooveshark picks for August

Artist: Shovels & Rope
(Cary Ann Hearst & Michael Trent)

Why I love it:  It sounds like if First Aid Kit were 

to date Justin Townes Earle and they had a bad relationship so they wrote a few melancholy songs 

and sometimes the Civil Wars would stop by to hang out. Yeah, that's why I love it.
