The latest tune at the top of “my jams” (on the right side) is “Again and Again” by The Bird and The Bee.
Inara George’s voice is soft but infectious–sort of bjork-ish but less weird. The song starts with a wurly that sounds equally addictive, and ads other synths, pads, and what not that all groove around a drum machine that makes you stomp your feet.
I’ve listened to the song 5 times now and I can’t say I can remember any of the lyrics other than “again and again” and I can’t say that I care. I still want to listen again. This post-rock duo seems to be furthering the minimalist-synthy-dancey-groovy movement (that phrase copyright yours truly, 2007). The sound is somewhere in between the shins and zero 7–and would feel right at home on the Garden State soundtrack.
Give ‘em a spin. You promise to listen, and I’ll promise to get better at writing reviews. Deal?

Even that video was pretty great!
