MP3: Last Days of April - Do for two
This week's Friday mp3 pick belongs to Matt Giordano:
Last Days of April has always been one of those groups that, whilst I like a handful of tracks, the rest of the lot has never really been able to grab my attention. Maybe it's because (to me anyway) the slower numbers tend to all sound rather similar, no matter when they have been recorded. The progression of the band since heading the pop route has been very slight, however it's with the uptempo pop songs where the band succeeds. Maybe it's because that's where Karl Larsson's pseudo-teen angst succeeds best - in capturing the energy of his moment of frustration. Anyway, the band's new album is out now, and although I've yet to hear it, here is one of the two songs I consider to be the band's best (and the only ones I subsequently listen to). Enjoy.
Matt's pick: "Do for two" from 2004's "If you lose it". The runner-up? My all-time favorite LDOA song "Playerin", off the 2002 album "Ascend to the stars". Seeing as how I've posted that one at least twice now over the years (once when it was new and once to revisit), I figure it's good to diversify.
