This song couldn’t have arrived at a better time. As warm weather swarms San Francisco I think you’d be hard pressed to find a better song this entire summer. Increasingly amazed at Ariel’s small output over the past year that has more lasting power than pretty much any other releases by any artist. Coming to the game a little late on this, a bit laid out with a cold but I haven’t seen anyone post the original version of Round and Round yet that was released awhile back. I get the feeling that Ariel has enough old taped song sketches to rework for quite some time. His reworking of “Phantasm” to “Phantasthma” on last summers E.P. has become one of my favorite songs. Needless to say this reworking, after basically nonstop listening for a week, seems on path to do the same.

i thought my roommates would have been tired of me playing this constantly for the past week, but it since has become the new jam of the house.
:-O
Hey,
I’ve been a fan of his for awhile, when he was receiving much criticism as well as hype. I’m pleased to see his past work being molded into these new songs. I can’t wait for the album and I know it will be just amazing.
people think its too long: we dont care we love it
I’m an old fart (45) who had never heard of this act before stumbling across him listening to Sirius XMU a couple of weeks ago. Sounds like all this cat needed was a little polish and…just…wow. All I can say. Bravissimo.
