Martial Canterel, "And I Thought"

Most of the music I listen to these days makes itself appealing to me by virtue of its wordlessness (for a list of my top 10 2014 listens send an SASE to the office, but for sure don’t sleep on Christina Vantzou’s No. 2 or Jo Johnson’s Weaving) yet there are still a couple of songs that somehow slip through and get themselves stuck up inside my sad and deteriorating brain. One of those is Röyksopp’s “Skulls,” but even more is this song here, from Martial Canterel, which is a new act to me, and is also apparently the side project of another band that is also new to me. One of the few nice things about getting old and not caring so much about what’s happening now (because all of it is terrible and worthless anyway) is that so many things do in fact become new to you. I think right before you die you realize it’s all new, but that is just a guess on my part; check back with me right before I die (if the forecasts are correct, this winter will probably do it) and I will let you know. Anyway, this song, it’s good, check it out.
