Label Day: Merge Records

I'm doing Merge today for one reason and one reason only.

This. Lyrically gorgeous, understated, and boy-girl duet done so well it knocks the pretenders for six. Even the St Vincent/National cover can't beat it.

It's rare that a band with a bassist, two guitarists, a drummer, a keyboardist, and a singer sound minimalistic. It's not as if each instrument doesn't try and take the spotlight, but they seem to know when to shut the hell up and let that killer bassline breathe. White Whale, What's An Ocean For

And now it's the drums that want a bit of space. Alright by me! Telekinesis, Tokyo
