Song of the Week 11/14

Rotation 1

Beach House, Devotion - "Gila"

Melodically hypnotizing, the droning beat and swirling vocals of  "Gila" has me pushing the repeat button often.  The lyrics are simple and repeat frequently: 

"Give a little more than you like
Pick apart the past, you’re not going back
So don’t you waste your time"

However, in combination with the instrumentation this song becomes deeper and the meaning are left up for each listeners interpretation.

Rotation 2

Wavves, Wavvves - "To the Dregs"

Originally on the fence about this artist, I am slowly coming around with the help of this tune.  I had picked up this earlier album based on the buzz surrounding their third and latest release, King of the Beach.  I am drawn to their lo-fi surfer punk vibe that transports you straight to the beaches of Cali.  And in terms of pure noise and energy, they have plenty, making them one band you can't ignore.
