Not gonna do a thing that they say

I've always meant to like Felt more than I do. So many of the parts are in place — inscrutably peevish English dude, chiming guitars, ambitious lyrics + breathy vox (if you try really hard, maybe you can be Tom Verlaine!). But it just doesn't hang together enough to turn my polite admiration into full-on fandom. Except songs like this, which is great because of its incongruousness. Especially the drums, which sound like they were imported from another song that happened to be at the same tempo. It hits me just right.
