Monsters of Folk: "Say Please" (MP3)

3:32 p.m. · July 20, 2009 · by Andrew Winistorfer

The three-headed roots rock dog called Monsters of Folk (which features M.Ward, Jim James of My Morning Jacket and Conor Oberst) has released "Say Please," the first single from the group's self-titled debut to the Internet. Predictably, the song trades in classic rock vamping and a rustic feel, proving to be a light synthesis of the band members' individual projects. The song is a bit too heavy on Oberst for my tastes, but presumably Ward and James will get their spotlight moments too.

Monsters of Folk is due out on Sept. 22. [Stereogum]
