Dancey Indie Rock - Now With Rhythm Changes!


Well, I guess "now" implies current and Moving Units Dangerous Dreams" came out in 2004, so this isn't especially current. Whatever. "Birds of Prey" is an amazing song that stays true to the band's dance obsession, in the vein of Q and not U, but has nice rock elements that, now that I think about it, do sound very 2004. Wasn't that around the time that everyone thought the Hives were about to be the biggest deal ever? Sounds about right.

Anyway, "Birds of Prey" doesn't beat you over the head with a hi-hat shuffle and a kick/snare march. I'm sure it was refreshing at the time and it certainly was when I first heard it. It's worth checking out.

Moving Units = "Birds of Prey"

Sigh. In college I would always rock out to No Kill No Beep Beep when I would get ready to go out. Then there's days like today where people speculate on how old I look and get it wrong by a couple years in the wrong direction.
