Vigil is what they recorded under.  The record label made them change it.  They are definitely from Maryland but I don't know where in Maryland but close enough in any case.

these bands together have sold maybe what - 25k albums?  by atomicfront's logic, they're unpopular and they suck.

actually, take out Beach House from atomicfront's list and the same could be said.  a'front likes sucky music!

I have seen 7 bands on this list.  I am sure Wye Oak has sold more than 25k copies of albums. And I hope Celebration has as well as they were on 4AD.
