Hello, Mr. Watson

Patrick Watson is a prolific Montreal musician who has toured with Feist, The Cinematic Orchestra, Amon Tobin, and James Brown. His 2006 album, Close to Paradise, is most generally classified as alt/indie, but perhaps is best described as experimental rock (others say he is a mix of cabaret rock and classical). Watson has been compared to artists such as Rufus Wainwright and Pink Floyd. I highly recommend his work, check out his myspace and these songs from Close to Paradise:
Man Under the Sea
Drifters is probably the best song on the album
Luscious Life
Giver
Daydreamer

Enjoy
