Spoon - Paper Tiger

Link.

Favorite lyrics: We could go kick down some doors together,
stay out til morning sharp as knives

Spoon is great for funky beats and wary voices; Paper Tiger, with the inhale-and-exhales in the backdrop of keyboard, proves that. Spoon in general is one of the best indie rock bands you can find - each of their songs is a musical experience in itself, using varied sounds in each of their albums. They have a little bit of an Andrew Bird sound, in the mixture of great vocals and beautiful, differing melodies: Paper Tiger especially is a song whose variance sifts through you. The lyrics are very unconventional - at first listen, if you graze through the song, it sounds like an indirect love song, but there's a story there that isn't about love at all. It's a song anyone can interpret as they choose, one of those mysterious little pieces of music that sit in the background until someone listens to them again.
