The Magnetic North - Rackwick

Favorite lyrics*: What do you dream at night, when the lights' off? What do you feel in your heart at the highest? What do you see through your big green eyes? I wonder if you dream at all.

 In Rackwick, The Magnetic North has a kind of XX's feel, but with a more ethnic sound and with a bigger range of instruments, like classical but with the addition of electric synth. The fast-paced music works really well with the slow-paced lyrics, and the vocals have just as much going on as the music does. There's a Vampire Weekend voice-shimmy going on in the beginning, but it mellows out into organized whispers and soft singing. It's a song you discover more of each time you listen to it.

 *lyrics by ear, so here's hoping our ears are correct.
