Song of the Week

Here's a new feature I'm going to try to stick with, song of the week. I recently came across this Rilo Kiley b-side from the Execution of All Things UK single. I like their new record, a lot in fact, but the songs lack the bite and edge that once made them so appealing. Gone are the moments of raw intensity, the screaming, the cursing; replaced by disco beats, synthesizers, and "Dejalo." Seriously, wtf is that song? Here's hoping their next album brings back the big drums and pulsing guitar, like this gem.
