Let me set a scene for you:My friends, Logan and Maida, and I are driving to Connecticut in the last weekend of April to visit another dear friend, see Santigold, and join in a weekend of debauchery at Conn College. I'm in shottie, rummaging through Logan's CDs and I notice two by Kings of Leon, Aha Shake Heartbreak and Only By the Night. I remark that I somehow completely missed the whole Kings of Leon craze but I liked what I'd heard and "lets hear 'em out, shall we?" What results is an amazing drive largely brought on by what I happen to think is some great music. Only By the Night isn't anything to scoff at but Aha Shake Heartbreak is kind of incredible.
A couple of months went by and I never got my hands on those albums....until a few days ago. After finally loading Logan's CDs onto my itunes I can now say I am obsessed. Late, albeit, but obsessed. I have listened to Aha Shake Hearbreak on repeat more or less for the last week and I can't get enough! It's offbeat and quirky while still maintaining an upbeat, classic sound. It's the kind of album you wish every song was longer on, and that is actually a tougher feat than you'd expect (at least for me). I just want to include King of the Rodeo, Taper Jean Girl, and Soft in every playlist I make for the next couple of months. It's just sooooo goooooood, ugh!
Other than that, I promise to make my music discovery posts more current in the future, I just couldn't help but express my enthusiasm.
