Lighthearted Tune from Spirit Kid

emeenWhile I often proclaim to have some undying desire to be super left of the dial, I can’t deny the power of a really great pop song.  Today I’m bringing you this hit from Spirit Kid, which will be featured on the band’s record, Is Happening. I like this tune as it displays a different side of the project fronted by Emeen Zarookian.  It sort of has light twee influences with horns kicking it int he background, but there’s also just a really simple formula that any listener of good pop music will appreciate. You can grab their album on March 18th, and if you’re here in Austin in a month, they’ve got a few SXSW shows lined up.

Power Pop Gem from Spirit Kid

spiritkid Spirit Kid is the working moniker of Boston’s Emeen Zarookian, who gets a little help from his friends (Bent Shapes & Babydriver) on his forthcoming release, Is Happening.  Those of you in need of a powerful burst of pop will definitely find yourselves in love with his first big single, “Slow It Down.” In just under three minutes, the song pushes hooks and energy right down your throat, making it nearly impossible to ignore the joyous possibilities that await us all with his release.  You can grab your copy of the album when it sees a national release on March 18th.
