Let's Go | Matt and Kim

I’m over slow songs. They’re really not that helpful in the grand scheme of things. At least for me they aren’t. At least not right now.

I’m not talking about the sappy slow love songs they at the end of dances (although those have never really been a beacon of awesomeness in my book either). I’m talking about slow tracks.

Now don’t get me wrong, I love me a slow track. I normally could float on the dark waters of The XX for weeks on end. But not now. Right now, songs like that are bringing me down. I know, I know…this is shouldn’t be a shocker. But it’s weird. And it’s not just The XX’s melancholy lyrics. It’s any slow track. The moment I hear one lately, I go “ugh” and turn it off. 

I don’t know what’s up. It’s like my body is rejecting low BPM’s and is making me physically ill if I don’t listen to something upbeat. Thank God Matt and Kim’s album came out this week. They can always be counted on for a fun, upbeat, “yeah!” track…which is apparently my body’s been craving.

And I have to say…it feels pretty good.
