i like someone still loves you boris yeltsin.
house fire's my favorite off broom. it's another one of those songs with sad lyrics but a light melody. think stars & th postal service & every other indietronica outfit. but sslyby isn't indietronica. they're plucked guitars & be-my-baby drums. warm glowing guitars.

i'd pull out a tullycraft comparison, but where tullycraft is hyperactive, sslyby is thoughtful.

i coughed yr name i smoked all day
& i slept myself sleepy i was sleeping it away

don't let it burn don't get confused don't let it get to you

we did what we could to save this car from crashing
but yr face is soaked in blood
yknow, i still find you dashing

airbags suffocate so we need a little space
rain on th windshield & i watched you limp away

think it's sad? [sslyby - house fire]

well, it's not joyful. but with lyrics like those. hell, it doesn't even brood. it paces a bit, shrugs, taps his fingers on th window, makes a sandwich, but it refuses to mope. it refuses to be sad.

brave song. just for yr vocal interplay you could very well be 2007's glitter & twang.

oregon girl smiles more, & is kinda sly. tells jokes that make you tilt yr head to th side, then grin.

enjoy.

p.s. i was watching a pretty great freestyle soccer video, then it started making me uncomfortable. i got all shifty & cranky before i realized th background music was muse. i fucking hate muse. ):
