I ran across April Smith and The Great Picture Show while listening to podcasts of shows from the Newport Folk Festival on NPR (I was feeling particularly pretentious that day) and found her incredibly charming with a unique, old-timey sound. She has that ability to mix sarcasm, wit, and charm while avoiding preciousness. It is fun music to listen to if you get the chance. Kind of like Gillian Welch if instead of getting her heart broken and saving the world, she just settled for crashing sorority parties for the jokes. And while there is more depth that that to April Smith's music, the vibe of what I have heard from her so far hits pretty close.
