Non-traditional elements

Have I mentioned my love of rock/indie type music with non-traditional elements in it to you? I have? Shut up, I am mentioning it again. Actually, I might not have? I can't find my mention of it, so perhaps I didn't. Ok, so I love music with non-traditional elements in it. Like, rock songs that feature an accordian or a violin or ... I don't know, whatever. I have come to this conclusion by inductive reasoning, and therefore could be COMPLETELY off base about the whole thing, but I do seem to have quite a bit of non-traditional element music in my line up at present. Off the top of my head...

Mumford and sons

Who feature an accordian, a banjo, a mandolin and a string bass in their line up. I am enjoying their music immensely. Favourite band of the moment.

Angus and Julia Stone

Who have non-traditional vocals nailed, along with an undefined assortment of instruments. Also my favourite band of the moment. yeah, shhhh, I know that is cheating!

One Eskimo

Again. Yeah, I know, I am obsessed. But mmmmmmm the horns.

Dave Matthew Band

Violin, and the Sax.

Tom Waits

Non-traditional vocals, and he breaks my heart every damn time.

Adele

Speaking of a broken heart...

Blue October

Violin/viola and mandolin.
