Sunday Single: Temecula Sunrise, Temecula Sunset

I've decided that one day on the weekend I will have an in-depth analysis of one single song so that it makes for a lighter workload on one of the days of the week.

Single Review

Dirty Projectors
















Temecula Sunrise (from the album Bitte Orca)

This song is an amazing track on a very odd album. This song starts out with an amazing acoustic guitar interlude which shows me that this band means business because the guitarist plays such clean open octaves so quickly that I can't wrap my fingers over that section of the song. This song has been consuming my guitar playing for the last 18 or so hours. Its complicated sequence leads into Dave Longstreth's vocals, which glide over the semi-angular guitar riffs which flow through 6/8 and 2/4 respectively in such a way which makes it seem like there is an arrhythmia every 8 or so bars. Then the bridge chords come upon the ear, which ring out like salty ocean waves. Then the chorus comes in and it is over. The song has already won you over with its eccentricities.

It works for me.

10/10

Until we meet again.
