song of the day: february 3/2011

Fugazi - Life and Limb
Album: The Argument [2001]

during their existence, this four-piece from washington created an intensely loyal following through intelligent and invigorating post-hardcore rock & roll while living a very modest and almost secretive lifestyle. "the argument", their sixth and final album, is a bracing reminder of fugazi's confidence and passion, reflecting the experimental impulses of their previous two albums while further refining their songs and arrangements. there's a pronounced pop element at work, and "life and limb" is one of fugazi's most subtle tracks. having said that, the smart guitar work and whispery vocals create a quiet tension. moreover, the chilling drum and bass parts coupled with the foggy vocal harmonies turn the song into somewhat of a spine-tingling monster.
