song of the day: june 29/2011

Wild Nothing - Chinatown
Album: Gemini [2010]

wild nothing's "chinatown" finds just the right mix of melancholy and urgency. the flute-like synths, rollicking percussion, and layered vocals on the chorus all shape an astral atmosphere, but there's an air of infinite possibility tangled in all the lushness. "we're not happy 'til we're running away," sings leader jack tatum, and the song makes the appeal of escape easy to understand.
