I've been listening attentively to this album from Miike Snow since it came out and I should've featured a track a long time ago for "song of the day from album of the week". Better late than never. The whole album is solid. Check this jam out.
Last Friday, Cali (http://www.rvca.com/advocates/?cat=10) and I were driving to Whole Foods to get some lunch for the Beta Petrol crew.
I asked him if he had heard the new Antony & the Johnsons, as I had only heard the EP and the first few tracks on the LP.
He popped the CD in and said that there is a line ("Hold that man I love so much") in the song "Aeon"
that Antony will be remembered for, and proceeded to play it for me. It was raining in Los Angeles that day, and as I was listening to the song for the first time,
there was a certain alchemical and powerful reaction I had
to the intensity and tenderness and beauty of that song unfolding
right there in Cali's car, in the grayness
of the sky, on a day filled
with the gravity and magnificence of my own life unfolding.
