Song of the Week

"Think I finally know what I want / I want to be two places at once." "Yellow Wings" embraces duality: with an exciting blend of both eighties stadium grandeur and vocally insular indie rock, the Brooklyn-based Keepaway has probably produced the best song of January (well, aside from about every track on Vampire Weekend's sophomore effort). With easy and somewhat overzealous comparisons to Animal Collective, this song from the band's self-released debut EP, Baby Style, deserves much more attention to critical detail, let alone the rolling drum progressions, layered sonics, and clever use of electronics.
