King Of Diamonds – Motopony
I want to give up on this song, for its silly card-based metaphor, for its simplistic chord progressions, and effusion of bells. But something here is utterly irresistible, turning a bunch of composite parts that don’t strike me as particularly fruitful into a solid whole worthy of repeated listens. I think it’s the moebius-like underlying rhythm that ties it all together, giving the whole track a slightly unearthly feel.
The song is from their self-titled Motopony, which came out this spring.
