Future Islands: “Balance”
[from On The Water / Thrill Jockey]
I don’t want to over think this one.
“Balance” is not just what I consider to be the finest song of 2011, it’s one of the most exciting, gratifying, energizing and well-crafted songs I’ve ever had the pleasure to listen to.
I love this band. They make me love and appreciate music even more than I already did.
Now go, play the song. Then play it again. And to be safe, play it a third time. You’ll see what I mean.
