A Double Recommendation Thing

Yeah, they aren't really metal, so I thought I'd stick 'em here.

1) Any bands out there in the vein of Iron and Wine, Willy Mason, Jack Johnson, and Newton Faulkner? Really laid back, chill out stuff?
2) Any bands (As unlikely as it is) like Interpol? Their sound is ridonkously individual but I thought it was worth a shot.

Feel free to direct me towards the band rec forum.

I have tried to find something like Interpol with no luck, Sorry.

As for Jack Johnson, try Elliott Smith. He is really amazing. Deeply moving and he killed him self. Its sad stuff.

Spoon might be something you will like, try them out.

Eluvium is great chill out stuff

Indeed it is.

The new Animal Collective EP is super chill and pretty amazing.
