It has a shimmer that speaks to the warming of the days, but a shoegaze bottom that represents those maddening cold snaps like what we had earlier this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKnife In The Heart\u201d &#8211; Lykke Li<br>The first time in ages I\u2019ve liked an LL song. This track\u2019s title fits into her normal, sad girl vibe. The music evolves into something brighter and bouncier than anything I can recall her doing. She manages to restrain it just enough so you never get the payoff of a full musical release, making it feel a very Lykke Li compromise. I appreciate her meeting us halfway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDozen Roses\u201d &#8211; Thomas Dollbaum<br>Dollbaum\u2019s voice sounds a lot like David Bazan\u2019s. That\u2019s MJ Lenderman on guitar. Really good song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWorry Angel\u201d &#8211; Witch Post<br>I\u2019ve been kicking this song around for a month or two, debating whether to share it. It falls in the middle for me: I don\u2019t dislike it but I also don\u2019t find it super compelling. I decided to stop overthinking it and let you all decide if it was a good idea to include it in a Friday PL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDie Young\u201d &#8211; Kevin Morby<br>Two new Morby tracks this week in advance of an upcoming album.
