BANGER. Their debut was my AOTY and I wasn't exactly juiced by the first few singles, but this one goes.
Still time to get your song of the summer votes in!
goddamn, great news, and if you haven't heard the live album the put out a couple of months ago it's well worth your time:

so, instead of a top albums or songs list at the end of the year, some friends and I make album-length end of the year playlists. the 'rules', loosely, are that it must be songs that come out during the year and it must all fit on a burnable CD, no more than 76 minutes or so. additionally I create the mix in a end-of-High-Fidelity sort of way where the track selection and sequencing is considered, making more of a complete album experience. I also try to choose less obvious tracks and/or artists when there's a toss-up on what to include, but sometimes a hit is a hit.
Apple Music (and btw, I know there are maybe a dozen Apple Music gummers but could we get a Stereogum presence on there in the new year? I think it'd be appreciated!:

right? especially since it's not like everyone has a bunch of holiday plans or other stuff going on this month (...right?), might as well give December some room to breathe
