At My Heels by Twin Shadow

The more I listen to this album, the more I find my self relating to the lyrics.  As stated before, lyrics are the last thing I pay attention to.  If I had to rank my interest in a song it goes like this:

  1. melody and phrasing
  2. groove
  3. harmony
  4. dynamics and use of sonic space
  5. atmospherics (second tier layers, usually subtle)
  6. lyrics

Twin Shadow takes me to old places I forgot about with his lines.  I love his moves.

This track in particular has a chimey, looped beat that could fit on any Summer mixtape.

This kid’s bass-lines are no joke either.  Get the album and save a space for it on your 2010 Top Ten list.
