I’d love to win one, this is my absolute favorite band. Literally every single part of this song is amazing, from the wacky intro riff to Chris’s intricate rhythm section, and the bells at the end. Absolute genius. I’m not sure if I like this or Horchata better though. The vocal line throughout that song mixed with those African tribal drums and the glockenspiel is just so sick.
Anyways, pick me!
