The Drums - Down by the Water
Link.
Favorite lyrics: if they stop loving you, I won't stop loving you
This song is like a modern reboot of a golden oldies station, circa the Stand by Me days (which the song significantly brings to mind.) The elongated vowel howls have a sleepy stream to them, and they give off that sad longing that made songs like these so popular generations back. It brings some of that old classic sound to a new decade, and it'll be interesting to see how it's interpreted in a contemporary genre. It's different because it's so familiar, and that's a contrast that makes it easy to listen to.

Wow, very much like "Stand by Me". Do you think it's an intentional allusion? But I like the song, for sure...
