For those of us who live in a classic four-season environment, a certain set of sounds is essential when heralding the onset of warmth. This weekend, New York peeked out from underneath a blanket of snow and saw sunshine and forty degrees, and my heart leapt unapologetically into a new season (premature or not.)
My favorite springtime songs tend to be punchy, simple jangle pop numbers - The Lucksmiths, Beulah, Paul Westerberg's Grandpaboy alter ego. Added to this list a few years back was the simple loveliness of a band called Guillemots, whose song "Who Left The Lights Off, Baby?" is currently residing on a playlist I call "favorite songs of ever."
Today, Guillemots' lead singer, Fyfe Dangerfield releases his first solo album. Not only does he have the best name ever, but the album's first single is a seriously ramped-up version of the more understated Guillemots sound. It's really very simple, but it's really very catchy, and everything about it says "the weather is getting warmer and we might start staying out too late soon."
