I have some weird soft spot in my heart for this style of pop song. I’m not sure if it can be considered a specific genre, though people credit the sound of this song to another band, Joywave, who partnered with another band to make a very similar song with Big Data that I should also post.

Anyway, this song is bombastic and a joy to listen to, and it comes at you out of left-field with a second chorus that feels plucked from an entirely different song… but it works! It works really well. I love the stuttering effect on the voice and the little triplet (I think) extra stutter that adds the right amount of rhythmic interest to it. I reaaaallly love the little glitchy guitar part they added to the second main verse, like the stereotypical high pitched funky pop guitar is being strummed somewhere far away over a broken connection. It’s just fun!

Maybe this weekend will be 2010’s POP WEEK.
