Labrador :: Loyal Divide

So it's really not fair to post a song and ask our intrepid Seedy Seers to listen to it a few of times before passing judgment. Because even though The CDC acts as a bit of a filter, there's still an investment by each of us to listen to at least couple dozen tracks each month.

That said - I'm asking just that. Headphones are good.

"Labrador" starts out a bubbling tape experiment worthy of of Kid A, and slowly adds a number of subtle but compelling percussive layers before a soft chord structure and softer vocals come in to guide us through the rest of the stuttering gated synths. It's a rich track that I feel really rewards repeated listens.

The group, (The) Loyal Divide is a fivesome out of Chicago - and this track is from a just-released EP also titled "Labrador". They also have an equally compelling offering in the form of their early 2007 eponymous debut.

Money-back-guarantee: If you don't like this track, you get the next one for free.
(I'm not sure what that means, either)
