New Music of the Day, September 12:

The Lightning Year, "The Needle"
Hard to believe that this band--who I saw live at the Great Escape festival in May--is only on their second single. Both this and their debut "Endless Memory" are such layered, accomplished pieces of work. Here, the whispery vocals and crunchy guitars remind me of shoegaze bands like Ride, but the throbbing electronics and soaring chorus elevate this to another level.
