MP3: Bikini - "American Mourning"
A panacea -- that's what this is. When you've been gutted and feel like the ground is at a higher level than you are, a song like this picks you up and eradicates any trace of sorrow. With an elastic beat and a synthesized noise that sounds like a manipulated sonar ping, "American Mourning" is fun and carefree, filled with mostly unintelligible lyrics. In fact, the vocals sound as if they are being transmitted from underwater. It's this lack of lyrical description, and coherency, that allows the song to free itself from emotional and thematic classification -- and why it fits nearly any mood imaginable. A listen through this underwater adventure is, in an inadvertent way, rather rejuvenating. Take a dive.
BUY: "American Mourning" is from Bikini's new 6-song EP entitled RIPJDS. Pick it up on Amazon MP3
, iTunes, or directly from Lefse Records here.Bikini
