Music Is My Boyfriend
Fine song:
Off
Look into the Eyeball; I can't stop listening to it. I meant to mention also that
Battles is worth seeing live if you have the opportunity; they are supposed to be on some sort of hiatus, but that didn't prevent me from seeing them play in Chicago. John Stanier is an awesome, shirtless titan behind the drums, while the rest of the band—maybe the hugest tech-nerd wizards in rock—fill out the songs and, actually, hold to the studio recording. The live show's fidelity to the album will catch you off guard, though it's also, or so I've read, catch as catch can. Fortunately, there weren't any interruptions or computer mishaps during the show I saw.
Caribou, who opened, also sounded unexpectedly great. Not a band I would have expected to put on a thrilling live show, but Daniel Snaith seems to have borrowed a page from his math rock betters on the tour and installed two drummers (front of stage, natch) to fill out the sound. At the bar—well, at the bar, there was much ridiculousness—we overheard a few people complaining that they couldn't hear all the melody lines. Don't mind those hosers. Go see Caribou if you get the chance.
