Song of the Day - October 3, 2006

Thurston Moore's label Ecstatic Peace! released the self-titled debut of psych-folk trio the Tall Firs. Led by Aaron Mullan, soundman and engineer for Sonic Youth, on guitar and vocals. The band features the interwoven guitars of Mullan and co-founder Dave Mies augmented by the drumming of Ryan Sawyer. I love the almost Brechtian "Breeze" and the harder psychedelic edge of "The Woods." Yet, it is the beautifully forlorn "Don't Complain," that really grabs my attention. Click here to listen.
