Valencia - Where Did You Go?
Oh, how I love songs with distant drumming intros. For some reason, they just pump me up. And this is no exception. Not soon after, palm muted guitars with a non-threatening amount of distortion joins in with the vocals. It slowly builds to a booming chorus; complete with great harmonizing vocals and pounding guitars. The lead guitar plays its part well during the chorus, creating a very dreamy lick. Dreamy lick... possible band name? Anyway, the song is riddled with cool post-production gems; chimes, a string quartet thrown in there, and guest vocals. It's refreshing, it's upbeat, it's very nicely done.
