Weinland are a band from Portland, OR in the tradition of folk-y Neil Young, with a touch of 70's AM songwriting snuck in. They captured initial attention mid last year when their "La Lamentor" album found its way into a few prominent scenester's hands. The band has since honed in their craft a bit more and have produced one of the best nu-folk albums of the year. According to their bio, the band “cashed out their 401(k)’s, emptied their bank accounts, and put everything they had into making sure Breaks In The Sun would see the light in 2009.”
