Song of the Day - April 5, 2006

Here's another great record from the label Kill Rock Stars. Comet Gain late last year released City Fallen Leaves, a truly brilliant example of indie pop with a British slant. Many of the songs deal with nostalgia of times past when everybody was younger and had fewer cares in the world. If you haven't experienced it you will soon enough. The album has intelligent lyrics and just a great sound, every listen brings something new to it. One of the best tracks is "The Fists in Pockets," which reminds me of something the Jam would have done. The crazed chanting of "I can't take it anymore" and the infectious chorus "If you're looking for me, I'll be down there on the beach" are entirely addictive. Just a note, the song starts out very softly and you may not hear anything until you are about 25 seconds into the song, your patience, however, will be rewarded. Click here to listen.
