Couldn't I?

Parts making up a whole.

tUnE-yArDs - Sunlight.

That's obviously what music is - hell, that's what everything is, but thinking about it at length is freaking me out - but I'm liking these recent bands who have exaggerated the difference between the sum and the parts. I'm thinking of Vampire Weekend and Dirty Projectors, bands who take their time showing you some parts before they put them all together on a crazy canvas. They've taken a lead from Talking Heads, and I'm loving it.

I really like this song. I first heard it while walking in the sunshine (synergy!) in Cambridge, and I had no idea what to expect. It all came together, of course, and it made for perfect summer walking music.

This song is from the tUnE-yArDs record BiRd-BrAiNs, out yesterday in a limited-edition hand-printed sleeve, and out for reals in November. Both editions are brought to you by our friends at 4AD.

I spend a lot of time in Cambridge, MA. And yeah, "Fiya" is indeed awesome. This record keeps growing on me.
