song of the day: january 14/2011

Silverchair - Asylum
Album: Diorama (B-Side) [2002]

unnoticed by many, silverchair were able transform themselves from a straight up grunge band in the mid 90's into a cohesive, enduring, and artistically diverse outfit by the end of the decade. "asylum" remains one of the best songs ever to be left off an album. daniel johns steps into the forefront here, showcasing his rich voice with melodies that are hardly predictable but often delightful. they've been around for 17 years now and it seems there's no end to their brilliance. here's to hoping 2011 brings a new and, presumably, awe-inspiring album.
