Three A-grade tunes for Monday afternoon
Since I wasn’t overawed by the Grizzly Bear show at the Town Hall, it probably means something terrible is up, like my expectations of new music is suffering from unreasonable pickiness, or something in my diet is having its toll on taste cells, or my brain is continuing down its degradation path; or maybe New York is once again appearing insignificant compared to the rest of world (woah). In short, it’s been a while since I heard anything new and exciting. I haven’t even managed to get through the St. Vincent album. Maybe it’s all the PR emails and the indie rock bubble overwhelming my senses. Maybe that album just isn’t all that. Maybe now is the time to not give a crap about St. Vincent. So for a change of scenery, here are three previously un-posted songs that I like. Is it troubling, though, that the first two are highly repetitious and catchy? Brain degradation!
Download “Harper” by What’s Up? (pictured above)
Download “Madame Shocking” by The Silent Years
Download “A Mobile Over Your Bed” by Lullatone
