Yep. All That's Best Of Dark And Bright rocks out. Rats Feet Over Broken Glass rolls the same way Find Your Fame does. Sound as a pound.

8. Did you glean any more good gossip about the glistening greatness that is Holy Fever?

The inspiration for the song is interesting. “ ‘Find Your Fame’ is about a woman in Mexico named ‘Diana the Hunter’ who was killing bus drivers as retaliation for sexual attacks against women in her town. Even though it can be a dangerous path, there’s something so empowering and invigorating about vigilante justice.”

“We’re gonna reap what you sow!”

 

 

 

The double dip is something mellow and cracker funky. Absofacto is the solo project of Jonathan Visger from Ann Arbor, Michigan. He has one album in the bottle. Dissolve is from 2015 and is indie elctronica and funky.

“I just wanted you to watch me dissolve,
slowly ,
in a pool full of your love”
