Wild Cub - Thunder Clatter

Sad hopes I'd hidden under
Tangled inside of me
You spoke like broken thunder
Deep into the center of me.

I couldn't say what I was thinking my
Heart shrinking, two sad sparks blinking in the sun
Wait one minute I
Had to listen for it
It was hidden in the fall
Hidden in the fall
Waiting on love to call
Hidden in the fall

I hear it call in the center of it all
You're the love of my life, the love of my life

I have Sirius Radio back for a while and of course that brings my attention to random, forgotten (or new) alternative hits. This one from 2014 sounded new to me! Sorry for the lack of love & attention to our Most Important blog but our real life has gotten a bit busy. In mostly good ways! Anyway, sending this spark of dancy, happy love out to our followers and my partner.

Upcoming Shows

MGMT - Little Dark Age

I grieve in stereo
The stereo sounds strange
You know that if it hides
It doesn't go away
If I get out of bed
You'll see me standing all alone
Horrified
On the stage
My little dark age

A shiny new single from MGMT, released in advance of new LP arriving early 2018, so be looking for tour announcements around that time as well. I love love loved their debut album that came out (gasp/gulp) ten years ago now. Wow, can "Electric Feel" really be that old? (Yes) Anyway, I like the sounds in this track and the sentiment -- not of actual depression but just a little, almost playful, toe-dip into the darkness - definitely shown in the Cure-esque video.

Upcoming Shows

Makthaverskan - Comfort

Continuing a theme of bands with really long names, today's Most Important is from Swedish rockers Makthaverskan. I've seen them described as dark indie pop and that's accurate, and I find them very much in the vein of some classic 4AD bands. Think Cocteau Twins. They've got a new album out, III, and it's fantastic.

RIYL: Lush, Cocteau Twins, Cranes, The Sundays
