Great Song of the Day podcast today. It’s a live version of “Painless Life” by Slender Means from last year’s Neon & Ruin. This Seattle band’s debut is an amazingly accomplished album of indie pop-rock perfection. Every single song is spiked with memorable hooks. Great sound courtesy of veteran Seattle producer Martin Feveyer – the band sounds fabulous throughout, with Josh Dawson’s excellent vocals bearing an uncanny resemblance to Pete Krebs. In a year of great Northwest releases, Neon & Ruin was one of the very best.
