I was immediately drawn into “People C’mon” by Delta Spirit off their debut album, Ode to Sunshine. They have been compared to Cold War Kids, and with reason, but that’s not a bad thing in my book.
The piano melody about half way through the song combined with some “papapas” and “lalalas” by lead singer Matthew Vasquez make the song for me. Scratch that: everything makes this song–it’s simply just well put together. And hey, they’re the kind of band that uses trash can lids as an instrument. So if you’re into that sort of thing and don’t find it overly trite, then you’ll probably find yourself quite pleased and even have a new favorite band to keep an eye/ear/whatever out for.
Buy Ode To Sunshine at Amazon or at Amazon’s MP3 Store.

Why would trash can lids be overly trite?
If it works it works. If people can’t recognize the overtones of a trash can lid then they shouldn’t be listening to music
I can definitely hear the Cold War Kids in them but again, not a bad thing.
Definitely gonna grab album after this teaser. Thanks!
Dude, this has been a favorite song of mine since summer ‘08. There is not a better way to usher in the fall.
Have you seen the video for this song? It’s pretty much amazing.
I first discovered this song on Gossip Girl (via your Music On Gossip Girl posts)… just a fantastic tune.
