#7. Give Up The Ghost
A whiff of Neil Young (Yorke is a fan), perhaps through My Morning Jacket's echo box, about this gorgeous "round". An acoustic guitar - really! - chings. Dies in the arms of dryads as backwards drums flap.

Nice Radiohead covers. Please check out youtube and watch: Dead Confederate from Athens, Georgia, performing the entire Tonight's the night album.

Recently saw them play in Holland - they are great.

On a funny note, I've been listening to the early download of The King of Limbs album, and the first song Bloom just completely freaks out my dog Henry!? It kind of reminds me of Yo La Tengo's song Beach Party Tonight but with a staccato overlay that makes you feel relaxed and nervous at the same time. "If dogs run free...."
