MGMT - "I Found a Whistle"
"Such conviction/To paint all the walls with the blood/of the young and the faithful and the good." So who gave MGMT a puff of that Beatles pipe? Good thing, because it's an exquisite diamond amidst a Valium of a record. I can get used to this arranging of dream-scape wordplay. There's still a pinch of psychedelia with a gentle strum that cradles your ears like a lullaby. Its bursting end may be one of my favorites this year: "I've got it, I've got it! This time." And when he lifts that pistol to your heart, you seem pretty relieved that he actually cares.
Fang Island - "Daisy"
Fun and free and harmonies and rock and claps and yelps and jumps and high-fives. A few bites from these fangs will inject you with an overdosage of HAPPY. Play it at church and save your congregation. Most of their music seems to intend bringing you to your bruised knees and making you flutter off in toothy-grin territory. Also try "Life Coach" and feel the heaviness lifted from your spine. Fang Island enjoys kicking you out of bed for good.
