New Music: Team Robespierre: "This Feels Perfect" [MP3/Stream]
What a band like Brooklyn's Team Robespierre or Matt and Kim offers is a space where all this spazzy adolescent goofiness feels good, perfect even. Dig the nomenclature: Everything's Perfect, Team R's debut LP, and now "This Feels Perfect", off the five-piece's Bad Habit 7". The song's got more synths, more energetic drums, and a (relatively) lush, fist-pumping chorus where the hi-hat settles into eighth notes. The dueling vocalists bring another set of stuff to shout along to till your voice goes hoarse enough to get you sent to the nurse's office tomorrow-- about wanting to go down to Virginia to see friends, about how I'm not necessarily right and you're not necessarily wrong, but goddamn. Stuff like that. Shit kicks into a pop-punk double-time for the song's conclusion. Perfect enough: "You and I can be the things that feel good, yeah."
