Track of the Day - 4/18/12

Baths - Maximalist 

What will surely be a great Summer of '12 song, this instrumental track has more character than most instrumental tracks. Sometimes it's better when a song doesn't have lyrics and lets you fill in the gaps using your imagination...this track allows you to do just that. 

Track of the Day - 4/17/12

MeWithoutYou - In A Sweater Poorly Knit

Just a fantastic hot weather track. It seems pretty straightforward until at 1:14 when the track's beautiful main riff appears out of nowhere. Throughout the song they build on top of it with numerous instruments and various chanting. This is the type of song you never thought would get stuck in your head of have you humming later, but you will.
