This hasn't happened before but I basically pulled this song from a Guitar Hero stream. It's an old song, but damn if it have a unique sound to it. Harmonics are fun now and then, but this song makes it work a main component of the instrumentation. The bass line is simplistic and one-note. I would enjoy something with more momentum to match the tone of the rest of the song though. The singing is meh. It doesn't strike me as anything out of the ordinary. The spotlight is rather on the rest of the band, because they have some pretty cool breaks in between the verses, ESPECIALLY at 3:20 ish. I am absolutely a stan for syncopated sections like. It's just so fun to groove to. I mean, I got to give it a high rating just for that daring move.

Rating: 7.5/10

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
