The string stuff is pretty enough at the beginning (I don't find it pretentious), but when the song really gets rolling, it builds to quite a musical climax that wakes up my emotional side in ways that I like.

new band for me-quite nice. Just moseyed over to emusic and picked the album up. Ah, instant gratification!

Reminds me of Bishop Allen.
The fact that it is strikingly different demonstrates what a treasure Radio Paradise is! Thank you!

Oh shut up.

Wow. I need to hear more of this. I like it when I can't decide about something. It beats just saying, ''This is different, and therefore bad.''

Ok, this is a transition song. I follow.

Kroke's Usual Happiness set a fine stage for this (y'all always make such good playlists) but I agree that the vocals don't add much.

I like it. Reminds me of some video game themes.

Pretentious nonsense.

Good stuff. Me likes it :)

Dang, that was weird. Definitely AF-esque, but very glad not to hear the howling vocals.

And suddenly, I'm whisked away to one of the Final Fantasy games...

Hope it's one of the good ones.

Hmm, that effect was lost when the lyrics started.

I was thinking something similar. Without the 'better'; maybe it'll grow on me...I'll give it a six and see where I end up in a few weeks.

didn't mind the music - vocals weren't my cup of tea. actually, i just didn't like that combo. the vocals reminded me of the eels or flaming lips, both i do like. i guess it just didn't mesh for me in this tune. interesting, for sure. maybe it will grow on me.

Woo-hoo! I get the first comment!

This is different. Different is good. Reminds me of Arcade Fire, only better.
