• Conor Oberst (the mastermind of Bright Eyes who’s recently gone solo), Mike Mogis (also of Bright Eyes), M. Ward (of solo career and She & Him) and Jim James (of My Morning Jacket) have created a supergroup. Yay! source

• The quartet, which calls itself Monsters of Folk, will release its self-titled debut September 22. Usually we’re against supergroups, but these guys have way more pedigree than Tinted Windows. (But fewer hit singles.) source

• Because, seriously, who can dispute the awesomeness of an indie rock supergroup that actually calls itself Monsters of Folk? It’s like the Justice League, except it’s gonna put you to sleep and make you a little sad. source
