Gun Lake’s Mark Fain is a TurnTable.fm friend and he is sensitive bastard. Mark likes to make people cry with his heart wrenching lyrics and cathedral voice. I weep like an anti-depressant deprived Paula Abdul every time I listen to Backwards and you probably will too. Think: Bon Iver meets Fleet Foxes.

Go buy Gun Lake’s album Balfour. Help Mark get out of Michigan before it becomes a wasteland of abandoned car factories and suicidal Wolverine fans.

You can purchase Balfour at Gun Lake's Bandcamp site
