All-American Rejects, "Close Your Eyes"
I have a lot of sympathy for bands like All-American Rejects, who had a lot of US radio hits (from "Swing Swing" to "Gives You Hell") and still have a major-label deal, but are in a tenuous position. It's been five years since their last album, and their signature punchy rock sound isn't really in style anymore. So now they're back and experimenting with two very different sounds on the double-sided single "Sweat"/ "Close Your Eyes". The latter song has received less promotion, but I think it's the most successful, a gorgeously moody piece with waves of distorted synth and haunting melodies.
