Some things were just meant to be together. Milk and warm cookies, peanut butter and jelly, and me and Gallop's beautiful folk music. Their beautiful Americana lullabies combine the standard acoustic guitar, keyboard, and banjo with a tambourine, cello, and violin make for an excellent track. Pair it with some truly awesome vocals, and this easily becomes one of my favorite tracks this year.

I'm an absolute sucker for folk, so anything that's even remotely good is always one of my favorites. It's even better when that track exceeds the "remotely good" line, just as "Vampire" does. I highly recommend not only this track, but the rest of their album, available for streaming on Soundcloud and Bandcamp.
