For some reason, Ra Ra Riot's brilliant debut album, The Rhumb Line, went totally under the radar for a lot of people – like Solid Snake with a packet of Marlboros (hi-five nerds). It coupled amazing pop sensibilities with classical arrangement – often combining disco beats with deeply soothing swoops of bass and cello (check out the core melting tune 'Ghost Under Rocks').
It obviously didn't fall on totally deaf ears though, with the album going on to make (the once great magazine) Rolling Stone USA's Top 50 Albums Of The Year list in 2008.
This great track is taken from their latest album, The Orchard, and is a rare treat where one of the ladies in the band wrangles the microphone. Enjoy!
