I first heard The Sad Snowman on Kirsten’s Postcard’s free tribute album for Belle and Sebastian, where he delivered an amazing stand out version of "My wandering days are over". From there, I started downloading his free EP’s from the same label, – also outstanding music. Now the project has a new song for download on myspace and last.fm, "Sea of Grass", a song that is among the best I have ever heard from the project. Fantastic!
I was hoping that this was a taster for an upcoming album, but no… The man behind the project tells us that his only goal at the moment is to make songs, and that the songs he makes will be released for free on the web when they are ready. No plans for any albums at all. Let’s hope he makes a lot of songs, then!
The Sad Snowman is a one man band from Milan, Italy.

(I came from Hype Machine.) Thanks for this. I had DL’d the tribute album some time ago, and wasn’t too impressed. I must have missed this song, because it’s actually quite good. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
