of Montreal create a track that looks back to Emotional Rescue-era Rolling Stones, linking the sound with hints of Franz Ferdinand and Momus. The twinkling instrumentation, shuffling beat, and echo is used to great impact. The guitar / drum dynamic pushes the track to a higher plateau, with an eclectic sound corralled by a deft set of hands. An otherworldly sound towards the three-fourths mark of the single provides a brief detour before of Montreal can hammer home the catchy chorus one final time. The track’s catchy demeanor and depth of composition makes this into a must-listen.
