O Emperor - Don Quixote

Link.

Fav lyrics : now refrain, reject the brain, oh man dare I say it, oh you're insane

Singing about a literary character automatically earns hipster points, but O Emperor does it unpretentiously and intelligently - and with a damn good sound. The lyrics are easy to fall into, mirroring the insanity the character they sing about goes through. The music is very gentle but erratic, the vocals and lyrics measuring up to a high standard of glory. This song is well put together, and has the slow, drugged feel of bands like Evaline or Stateless. It's like being sick and on cough syrup and only half-awake; it slows down your brain, lulls it in a kind of seductive, angry fairytale sort of way.
