Ari Hest: We can’t believe that this guy is a not a bigger deal. He’s been without the support of a major label for some time now, and he seems content with releasing indie album after indie album of wonderful material… but inevitably, his music is going to hit a national audience and he’s going to find himself in a Bright Eyes or Tallest Man on Earth situation where he becomes an overnight sensation.
