album of the day!
the rapture - echoes
echoes deserves to be on everyone's playlist solely because of its cowbell. it is a good album, on top of that. dance punk, simple samples and production, awesome layered vocals, electronic atmospheres, and plenty of energy. this album is can switch seamlessly from frenzied, to trippy, to sweetly melodic. it keeps its scope in mind, pushing its own boundaries without losing is momentum. most importantly, House of Jealous Lovers has the best use of a cowbell i have heard in any song. this is what really pushes this album from merely good to permanent staple in my listening rotation. it keeps justifying its spot because every song can stand alone as good in its own right, and still feel distinctly a part of the album as a whole.
