After jamming today, I started to ponder what songs would make for a do-able and exciting cover to play and perform. One of the people at this jam session suggested this song, and man does it have such a remarkable sense of energy and momentum behind it. The drum groove itself turns out to be pretty popular, but I myself never listened to the Arctic Monkeys enough to find this small gem. Thinking of it now, I really enjoyed the songs that I've listened by them so far. It only makes sense for me to find more about them really.

The rest of the vocals are your usual Arctic Monkeys. I have no strong feelings one way or the other, but that's probably because of how much attention the drum and guitar parts themselves attract. And that's perfectly fine with me.

GENRE: electronic I regarded FKA Twigs  as a more experimental electronic, modern artist. Today's song feels quite grounded in conventional techniques. Nothing stands out to me as groundbreaking or pushing the boundaries of the genre. I did not expect someone else to be featured on this album either. Unfortunately it doesn't add up to much on the album. In the best case scenario, it adds to the already plain and monotonous sound. Rating: 4/10

Day 309: White Gloves by Khruangbin // 5

GENRE: indie I can't quite my finger on why I find this three-piece so alluring. They've got a style to them that evokes a carefree sensibility. That much can be seen in their song, White Gloves . Apparently it's part their first album to feature vocals, and it's a welcome addition to the canvas. No one instrument stands out any farther and more unique than the others. Each instrument is featured and mixed pretty evenly, giving me a sense of noiselessness and soothing comfort. However, I think part of that plays against their favor. It plays more like a lo-fi ditty than a fully realized song. At about 3 and a half minutes, I would expect a bit more to be fleshed out. Rating: 5/10
