i rarely have only one or two songs by a particular artist in my library. if i like one, i feel obligated to add the rest of that particular album to my collection, if only to feel like i've given the artist their due. however, on a few occasions upon listening to a particular track i find myself quite satisfied with the result, and am content to leave it at that. like orphaned children, these songs are destined to be gradually surrounded by other full albums, jealous of these loving and cohesive units until eventually they find a home of their own. orphans need love too, and so i'm passing them off to you to do your part.
i'm not particularly sold on everything everything; that said, this remix is oh so clever. the vocal coleslaw can get to be a bit tiresome at times, but the layering of understated synths, acoustic guitar and a hell of a catchy drum beat take this rendition well above and beyond the original
everything everything - MY KZ UR BF (clock opera remix)
hey marseilles is such a cliche it's almost a shame. Rio combines so many tired new-folk archetypes, it's hard to say exactly whether it's the decemberists, mumford & sons, or the many other carbon copies they're taking their cues from. that said, i can't help myself but enjoy this song. i guess that makes me a sucker
hey marseilles - rio
tv girl's If You Want It rounds out this little motley, bad news bears of a playlist. this one's off their first EP, and i'm curious to see where they take their sound.
