Dirty Projectors

I've heard a lot of good new music lately, which makes me feel like life in general might be tolerable for the duration. But enough about me. The absolutely best song I've heard in a long, long time is "Spray Paint (The Walls)" by Dirty Projectors. It's hard to say exactly what moves me so deeply when I listen to this song, but I think it manages to capture so poignantly the spirit of an entire generation, in a way that can only be accomplished using words from a previous generation. It might "feel good to say what (you) want", but you can probably learn more about yourself by listening, and the Dirty Projectors illustrate this theory with their own brilliant creation.

I would recommend the album "Rise Above" to anyone, not only for the lofty and well-formulated concept, but also for the visceral thrill of the music itself.
