The Underrated Blog names The Wind and The Swell the #1 album of 2007

It was a nice surprise to discover over the holiday that the wonderful Underrated Blog named our very own Port O'Brien's The Wind and The Swell as its number one album of 2007.

The band's sensational debut beat out the likes of Radiohead, The Arcade Fire, Spoon, Kate Nash, Jens Lekman, and Amy Winehouse for the coveted top slot. And it sounds like the site is eager for more music from the band very soon.
