"Chemicals don't flatten my mind / Chemicals don't mess me up this time"
Things have been, and are still, a little hectic this week so tonight's update is going to be a brief one to share a couple songs from early '07 that have been buzzing around in my head in a good kinda way.
Of Montreal - "Heimdalsgate Like A Promethean Curse" (taken from Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?)
Don't let the rather unwieldy title fool you, this is a great little slice of indie pop from one the more exciting bands I've discovered of late. They certainly aren't new, Hissing Fauna is their eighth full-length, but over the course of their last three albums they've managed to put together quite a stretch of fine music.
Gruff Rhys - "Candylion" (taken from Candylion)
For those of you not immediately familiar with the name Gruff Rhys, he is most often found leading the Super Furry Animals - a band that is criminally overlooked here in the United States. This, the title track from his most recent solo album, is a laid-back tune that fits perfectly in with the rest of SFA's poptastic catalog.
