FTLT (the citizen that alerted the citizenry to the likes of Alabama Shakes and Courtney Barnett long before everyone else figured it out, who also used to be a DJ, contributor, and frequent commenter as well as being known as somewhat of a basketball enthusiast (in the case that anyone is unfamiliar)) causally dropped a mention in a FMD a little bit back. I've learned to listen when the hitman does so.
A collaboration between the lead singer of The Walkmen and one of the main cogs of Vampire Weekend, their album is a whirling plunge through genres, eras, and textures, but all with a distinctly original sound that I hope they explore on another album or two. Anyway, this song has been between lowkey to rock-climber's grip stuck in my head for the past few weeks now.

Awesome.
I Shazam'd their tune, In A Black Out (see below), back in mid-Sept and have gone back to it quite a few times in the interim ... will have to get after this album.
I'd like to think my greatest contribution to site was the tag "indie?"
It's a useful tool.
This song has been pretty heavy on the Currents play list the last couple of weeks.
