This song is like 15 songs in one - I am obsessed. First, let me say that I don't know a thing about this band other than that they wrote one of my absolute favorite songs "How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep," a random gem from a Twilight soundtrack that has now been sewn into the fabric of me and about which I blogged in 2010 - huzzah! Blogs were a lot shorter then, guys. Anyways, this song eases into a wonderful alarming, shrill loop, picks up with some jingly jangly chimes, then goes full on hip hop drums with a side kick of wind instruments. The vocals are so fantastically nasally and resonant; this song makes me feel like I am in the eye of a musical tornado. Love it. There is also a satisfying electric guitar what-sounds-like-straight-up-cowbell break. I mean, this is like a buffet of glorious sounds. I'm full.
How you'll move: Love it when you call me Big Poppa head nod with some smooth shoulders.
When to play it: When you're hungry on the inside.
Side note: Bombay Bicycle Club is playing shows at Webster Hall May 8th and 9th. Just saying.
