The Return of Spiral Stairs

Spiral Stairs fanboy here, but I don’t think that really applies to this new song from Scott Kannberg, as this track doesn’t really seem to fall into his immediate canon (Pavement, PSoI). That being said, there’s something progressive here, moving into a more traditional songwriting mode; it’s almost as if he’s opted to channel Bowie here and just bring out this darkly brilliant bit of pop (as if we ever doubted him). It’s a touch bit different than what I expected (though there were hints on some of his Matador work), but I think his writing abilities still shine through, building anticipation for Doris and the Daggers, released by Dominoon March 24th.
