This is one of the best songs I've heard in a long time. I'm not sure if it's a tribal song, a warrior calling his people to battle, or a sort of nouveau Appalachian work gang song or what. Men certainly seem to react viscerally to it.
Change on the rise-Avi Kaplan
It has everything going for it: meaningful lyrics, seductive beat, and the deep, resonant, clear bass of Avi Kaplan, with his incredible ability to inject emotion into his work. I just love, love, love his voice. It grabs me right in the gut.
Just to add to it all, he did all the background tracks as well, showing his unbelievable vocal range.
Oh, and as a music video it's brilliantly done.
Listen with headphones if you can.
