Music doesn't need structure, it doesn't need a checklist. I find this very interesting, exploring the boundaries of what people would consider a hit song.
One of the things I love about doing dance in my dance studio is that they always chose good songs that I always end up searching them up to find them. This was one of the ones that older girls danced too and I loved it so I now have it in a playlist with all the others.
It's like listening to a couple of 1920's New York jazz singers (ezra koenig and whoever the woman is) who accidentally got sent to the future and are being forced to perform for a tribe of post-apocalyptic steampunk city people in the decrepit, irradiated remains of an underground nightclub.
pls help exactly, that's the irony of the whole situation, people who are against hipsters, will discount music because it sounds 'hipster', which is in itself, hipster.
The production on this track is beautifully precise and so unique. Otherwise just indescribably good. Just because something is new or hard to understand, it doesn't have to be placed in a label or automatically become "hipster music". So friggin sick of people saying that
I NEED SBTRKT APPAREL. A shirt for the album cover for "Where Will We Land" would be great, and so would shirts that just say SBTRKT. Also, I want a shirt that says "New dorp. New York." and "gargoyles gargling oil."
That is some frikin innovative sound... What groove, digin the melody... its got a feel, of Paul Simon somewhere in there too... I guess its the sligh/slangy vocal... Love it!
american11asshole I just read the first 2 lines cause I got bored, but anyway, just wanted to say this is playing on Portuguese radio for some weaks now, 2 stations play this song actually. Have a nice weekend!
I think what you're trying to convey is that it's not like anything you've heard before. Elements of it maybe, but no SONG that sounds or feels like this. Most music is derivative and this helps because we frame everything we hear in the context of everything we've heard, so news sounds or ideas often confuse us like you're describing :)

8 years later this song still randomly pops into my head every now n then
...which means it's a grest tune.
my favorite part is the lady that says "and he thinks im the negative one"
i love the tone of her voice and her accent
Its not a woman. He is from the band 'Vampire weekend' x
TheBIGfaces the first voice that says it is a woman
No you cannot have her BOBS
nieuwe dorp, nieuw Amsterdam... give credit where it's due... waar zijn mijn NL's
That whole back and forth is so cheesy and kinda devalues the whole song
Ezra Koeings voice is beyond amazing.
right? he made it better

So FUCKEN well said........
Who else is in love with this song because of "THE IRREGULARS" ?
221B calling 🐚
Meeeeeee
Totally!!!
From Netflix straight to utube damn seeing ur comment was shocking
Yup. Stopped episode 2 to find it. Now back to the ghost that steals teeth... cool fun show.
Very upsetting not to see gargoyles gargling oil. Awesome tune. Love that base.
Bill Burr's throwback during his Thursday Podcast brought me here of all places. I have no regrets.
+Jamk311 saaaame
+W Wright Crazyness me too. Thought the song was weird as fuck.. Here we are.

Sameeee this is literally my jazz dance this year
It's like listening to a couple of 1920's New York jazz singers (ezra koenig and whoever the woman is) who accidentally got sent to the future and are being forced to perform for a tribe of post-apocalyptic steampunk city people in the decrepit, irradiated remains of an underground nightclub.
Not that I dislike the way it sounds just that's the image that pops into my head.
love this comment lool!
***** gladly
I was trying to explain this song to my boyfriend, and your comment could not have described it better!
Very nice description
I feel so indiehipster-ish listening to this, cause it sounds so alternative
But it sounds good, that bass is fucking wild
don't worry, you're not
Who cares? If you like it, don't think about how it makes you look xD
the worst thing that exists in this world is having to put a label on everything.
pls help exactly, that's the irony of the whole situation, people who are against hipsters, will discount music because it sounds 'hipster', which is in itself, hipster.
Matt Bourke that's why i study psychology. cuz people da weirdest shit out there.
Solomun at Boiler Room 😍🔥👌
anyone in 2019 ?
Just randomly pop in my head after 3 years
Ye
yesss and still going!
still such a msterpiece still hooked

Saw vampire weekend play this live yesterday and they absolutely killed it
Does this give anyone else a really modern Cowboy Bebop kinda feel?
I feel it
***** YES GIRL LOL
***** totally
Absolutely
YES
Im old so didnt know🤯 57 to be exact & the Netflix original series "The Irregular's" brought me here 😇💙 This song is BAD ASSERY!😎 Love it!!!
First song I heard from SBTRKT when it was released and I instantly fell in love with it 💀💀💀
So You Think You Can Dance brought me here, amazing performance :) vote Alexia!! hehe ;D
Whatever that awesome feeling this song gives me I want in a pill form that lasts all day every day
This has become my October song for the past 10 years! I don't know why but it just gives me autumnal feels! Thanks SBTRKT it's a classic now ❤
Seeing Vampire Weekend play this live is crazy
I keep coming back to this song every year lol
my studio did a dance to this song. it was amazing. such a shame our studio closed forever and we can’t do a recital for all the families to see☹️
my girl's got a city to run is the best line
It's different, I like 😊
u r qt
What genre of music would this be? I'm obsessed with it!
Megan Fregoe This is funk music
Vampire Weekend had an incredible performance of this last night (9/27/24) in Boston
Just heard this today. Never heard it before. I’m drawn to it’s irregularness (best non-word I can use to describe it). The video is good too.
Being that this song is featured on the Netflix series Irregulars, your comment is a good description.
Pro tip: drive up the BQE around Brooklyn Heights or up the FDR Drive at night with this on.... magic.
When music is art! Thank you SBTRKT, so fun dancing to this music!
Heard this song in the A Most Violent Year trailer and had to look it up. Of course it's SBTRKT, I love his shit.
This was my NYC-tune while being there..❤ NYC..!!
Waouuuuuuh une pépite
Un son au top et quel professionnalisme 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I NEED SBTRKT APPAREL. A shirt for the album cover for "Where Will We Land" would be great, and so would shirts that just say SBTRKT. Also, I want a shirt that says "New dorp. New York." and "gargoyles gargling oil."

there are a lot of switch ups in the production... underground or commercial.. its simply well produced...
HOT DAMN THAT WAS A FUNKY JAM
Tis sicketh
This song sounds exactly like Madonna's "Some Girls", i like what you guys did with it
La voz de Ezra, asombrosa.
Banger🔥
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM...
Came here from the show The Irregulars. This thing bangs.
Same here
glasto vampire weekend 2019 set. amazing
Amo como dicen "new drop new York"
season 4 episode 9, IYKYK
AWESOME
Girls!
keepin' it real and keepin' it clean // thumbs up dudes
I literally have no idea who this band/group/person is, but fuck if this song isn't catchy. His/her/their other song Higher is really excellent too.
@@simongreene3837 was most definitely high
Just now found this. Excellent beat and lyrics, great video.
soooo funky
wooooooo! Early morning.
Empire yes we named New York after our York
Ezra Koenig is one talented mo fo
la bomba
Who’s here in 2024 thinking omg seem’s just happened? ❤❤
In love with this beat...
I found this song on the Irruglars soundtrack. Do you have any connection to Staten Island?
I didn't realize this song existed til the other day when I saw Vampire Weekend and they played this.
I am among the first viewers. I predict the excessive success for this song. It's just pleasure for ears, you feel how it shakes the body.
daaaaaaamn
Brilliant track!
Heard this in the gym and looooved it.
Hunnypot Approved!
Why is this song so underrated
My first time hearing it i wasn't sure if I liked it but it defiantly intrigued me..... few listens in I just love this shit!
