Interpol - "Lights"
Wow, excited vocals! It can almost past for an off-Broadway musical number. Enter: Paul Banks, romanticizing. I'm not a fan of this side of him. I miss the familiar stoic, doomsday tone of "Into the Bright Lights" Interpol. Also vanished are the throbbing bass lines that so endeared to me when analyzing the fate of doomed relationships. I suppose I should keep my mind free from past regret and focus on the evolution. Perhaps this time, the lights reflect a saved-by-grace Banks turning off the bright lights to hold the heck out of the one he loves? I'm already on my third listen, but it has yet to convince me it's going to be something more than a one-night stand. Yeah, I miss 2002 like I miss an ex.
Sleigh Bells - "Tell 'Em"
This is getting so good. Each time I listen to another Sleigh Bells tune, I get giddy. "Tell 'Em" is like getting blasted by lasers and at the same time, healed by the magnificent prospect of a fresh tune to invent a new dance to. How about a spastic, wigged-out Kid-n-Play? A Pon-de-Floor-style Roger Rabbit? The possibilities are without end!!!
