Song of the Day - June 15, 2005

You got to love a band named for observing the far out. Palomar is an observatory in California and also a rock band from Brooklyn composed of three girls and a guy. Their music may sometimes be stark like outer space, but is usually more in the optimistic vein as opposed to melancholy. One of their best tracks is "Underwater," which is not a melancholy song at all. The music is upbeat, with a popish sound, but not sugary pop. The discovery of bands like Palomar puts a smile on my face. I hope you will smile also. Click here to listen.
