Song of the Day - May 20, 2005


I recently discovered Auburn Lull, another great band from Michigan, and I have to say that I am very happy. Their music at times can sound like a not so polished Duran Duran (a good thing in my mind) combined with a Gang of Four spastic guitar sound. Not all of their songs are like this, but the song "Sinking Meridian" most definitely is in that category. The song has this unusual sound which I cannot identify. It could be a human voice or something else. Anyone that listens to this track will know immediately what I am talking about. If you know what it is, please leave a comment. Enjoy the music.

OK, I think that sound is a little novelty instrument. It's a tube with a rubber plunger and when you pull the plunger in and out it makes that distinctive noise. I swear I've seen one before but can't find its name anywhere right now. If I'm right it's the same sound heard on "Lighten Up" by the Beastie Boys (which unfortunately is a pay track on Rhapsody).
