I cannot wait for Memory Tapes' Player Piano to drop on the us kids (July 5th). 2009's Seek Magic was full of modest glo-fi grooves, but with the song "THIS OUR LIFE" and now "Wait in the Dark," Dayve Hawk seems to be taking a more aggressive and openly melodic stance this time out.
"Wait in the Dark" is not nearly as stunning or epic in scale or scope as "LIFE," but it's certainly very charming and filled with plenty of Hawk's signature wah-wah keyboard doodling. The song describes the uncertainties in a crumbling relationship, but the music reflects the inherent liveliness of the times when love (in all forms) puts us at the edge of our seat, sensitive to all possibilities.
