3-for-Tuesday - Spring into action

Some tracks sitting in my inbox, figured I’d proliferate them. For all to enjoy or rag on. Opinions?
Though the track never fully releases its joyous tension, Lykke Li’s “Dance Dance Dance” is probably the best of the trio (her vocals kind of make me squishy inside and the sax solo just screams endearing exuberance), followed by the Forms. The Forms track has that distasteful modern rock radio edge to it that I find leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, yet it still manages to intrigue me to no end. The Annuals track is a little too over the top, trying to be “that track” a la the Shins or Coldplay.

That Forms track is brilliant. Not feeling the other two…
