This year's new best bearded band

After last year's devotion to the very bearded Fleet Foxes, this year's new best bearded band award could well go to the Cave Singers. After Bon Iver disappeared into his Grandfather's mountain shack to emerge 6 months later with a great big beard and his record For Emma Forever Ago, it seems remote retreats and habitats are the new bijou theme when it comes to recording good music and a devotion to that great hairy religion - hirsuitism.
