This is my current favorite song by a band that I don't really listen to. In other words, I've never heard an entire album and probably couldn't identify them if I heard another song by them on the radio. But this song, this song is AWEsome. Part Beach Boys, part Who synth riff and baseline, part something I can't quite put my finger on, it says Summer with a capital S.

MP3 Jens Lekman – The End of the World Is Bigger Than Love
New music from Jens Lekman is always a reason for celebration, especially when the result is something as gorgeous and poignant as his new single. The track features the Swedish pop maestro in his prime with enchanting strings, piano instrumentation and a delicate, stunningly pretty melody. The theme of the song can be aptly summed up in the chorus line as Jens tries to convince himself that “our broken heart is not the end of the world, because the end of the world is bigger than love”. For anyone familiar with the near-obsessive romantic inclinations contained in Jens’ music though, that may be a hard argument to make.
MP3 Cut Copy – Where I’m Going
Aussie dance-pop trio Cut Copy pretty much owned the summer of ‘08 with their uplifting electro jams and from this taste I expect their upcoming album will be just as bountiful. The song picks up right where “Unforgettable Season” left off in exploring hazy psych-pop but takes it a few steps further into the 60’s with a electric organ solo and some far-out vocal harmonies. There’s still room for some exuberant dance-floor moments though like the “Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Whoooo!” heard in the chorus. I’m looking forward to hearing what else these fellas have in store.
MP3 Tokyo Police Club – Bambi
I’ve been spinning Tokyo Police Club’s new album Champ quite a bit lately and after much deliberation have landed on this as the stand-out track. It comes out of the gate with a frantic keyboard line that’s heavy and angular at times and mathy and melodic at others. The brisk vocals add to the song’s energy and the fact that it’s all so hooky and catchy and upbeat just makes it the track irresistible. It’s a whirlwind of a track and an example of indie rock at its most vital.

In Their Words: " [The song is] inspired by realizing your mistakes, marching to the beat of the Timelords, gone away truths, the swagger of O'Riley and everything left unsaid. When there is no comfort in hindsight, the best you can hope for is a poetic moment."

בזמן שכולם אוכלים אבטיחים, אני אוכל את הלב ואת הציפורניים וכותב עבודה גרנדיוזית. אין לי מנוח זולת מוזיקה בארוקית אינסופית המסתחררת סביבי בעודי מסתחרר סביבה. כל כמה דקות מוחלפים הנזירים הקטלונים ששרים לי שירים קליטים בחבורה של נערי מקהלה מסרדיניה שאוחזים במילים פרנציסקניות ומתים על אלוהים. כמה שאני מת עליהם, ללא כל ציניות. אלא שאני יודע שכדי להרחיב בדיבור עליהם – זקוק אני להשכלה שלעולם לא תהיה לי, ולכן אשאר ילד הרחוב שאני ואפצה את פי על משהו אחר. נגיד, Sea Exchange (או שבעצם כעת קוראים להם Collider?).
אינני יודע לומר דבר ורבע על ההרכב (או שמא מדובר באדם אחד) אשר מותח את גבולות עצביי כבר כמה ימים ברגעים כאלו ואחרים, באמבטיה או במרפסת, בבוקר או בלילה. יש להם שני EPs שיצאו השנה, והם ממשיכים מסורת ארוכת חודשים של שוגייז מהול בצ'ילווייב שמסוגל לצמרר אותי ואת כל צמרות העצים שנושקות לדלת חדרי ברגע זה. ואינני מגזים. יום יבוא והם אפילו יועילו להעלות לרשת תצלום הגיוני שלהם, ולא יחליפו את שמם במקביל לכתיבת הפוסט שלי עליהם – ואז יוטב לי. בינתיים אני נאלץ להדוף את מילותיי לאחור ולהשכין מעט שלווה ושלום בצמרותכם רגע לפני הזעקה הגדולה הזו.

וכאן אצור גם הסינגל החדש של Cut Copy, מי שאחראים היו לאלבום השנה ולשיר השנה שלי ב-2008. קרנבל לא נורמלי.

Before heading out to Pioneer Park yesterday afternoon, I decided to give the new Cut Copy track a spin while driving around in the hot sun. It’s a great summer jam to let loose with the windows down; cruising around to the thumping beats, exuberant hand claps, and joyful harmonies. It’s actually a complete 180 compared to the unabashed dance mentality of 2008′s In Ghost Colours. Still, the guys know how to craft a good pop song, and I welcome any kind of change the new album brings to the table.
The wait for that new album might be a while, despite us getting a taste right now in the middle of summer. The still untitled album isn’t due until early next year, but in the meantime the guys have just begun a tour with dates around Europe followed by Australia.
