WatchSOTD - Sleigh Bells - “Comeback Kid”
I always appreciate when different contexts help you really hear a song in the way it was meant to be heard. For whatever reason, this video made this first single off the new album really grab me in a way the audio did not. Pre-ordered.

WatchSOTD - Typhoon – “The Honest Truth”

Live on Letterman. Haunting folk harmonies and a bitchin’ mouth harp.
